For Christmas (2005), my wife gave me this camera. The camera worked correctly but one of the sides was extremly rusted due to the fact that the camera has been laying over a heating radiator for several years and water has condensed on that side everitime the radiator cooled down.
This was my first camera restoration, the one that started it all.

I glued the cloth to the body of the camera with elmer's glue. With some black paint I repeinted the body and with an Edding I painted black the small areas where the T shirt cloth was showing up.

About a year later I went to the same store and found the box of the camera with the instructions inside. The owner of the store gave me the box for free
