Found a squeeze bulb
In our last episode, our hero was wondering where he was going to get a
squeeze bulb to operate his old-time shutter. Well, today I picked one up locally, from a medical supply place here in Chinatown (Oakland). Cost me about $5. No outrageous shipping charges, no credit card transactions, no wait, and no money leaving my community, never to return. But the bigger problem isn't the bulb--it's the hose to connect the bulb. I picked up a length of latex tubing ($3 a foot!!!) and a barb fitting that gets me from the bulb into the hose. The problem is that the hose is much too large for the shutter connection, so I'm still looking for parts to do that. (Probably another barb fitting into a smaller piece of rubber tubing.) Everything having to do with these old cameras takes tons of time tracking down stuff. -- Found--the gene that causes belief in genetic determinism |
