I replace the light seals on a Pentax K1000. After much struggling with old foam removal (it turns into goo) and the new foam sticking where it should not but not where it should I have a usable camera. Next up is to check the shutter speeds are close to what the dial says and then finally run a roll of film through it.


Not a sponsor or affiliation but FYI:

You can pick up light seal kits from uscamera: https://uscamera.com/
The kits are slightly less expensive from their eBay store: https://www.ebay.com/str/uscamera
I have had good luck with their kits (this is my third light seal replacement) but their may be other kits that are just as good.


Video filmed on a Pixel 3xl.
Audio is recorded using a Zoom ZH1 since using the phone mic last time was terrible. This was not too bad volume wise, have to work on my radio voice.

Edited using kdenlive because I run Arch.
