Walker,

I didn't know it was possible to get an Exakta repaired. Who did it? 

As for a truck camera, try one of those cheap digitals. Or as an 
alternative, 
I noticed that HP or other outfits are marketing disposable cameras using 
35mm film. 

Sign of the times: My film processor notified me that film will no longer be 
processed for one-day delivery. He picks up film and delivers prints every 
two 
days. Obviously the inroads of digital.
