Right on Dan!
After all, these toys take us back to our youth when we coveted them new in
camera shop (and car dealers') windows, but didn't have the bank accounts
to support them.
My Weston Master 5 is also still going strong, as are all my 25 year-old
plus Leicas and Nikons.
And our runabout when we're in the UK is a little 1986 Peugeot 205 GTi,
which has just turned over 30,000 miles after 13 years......still the most
enjoyable motoring I have, and I drive a BMW back in Ireland.
Didn't I here that clockwork radios are going great guns in the third
world? So much for obsolete mechanisms.. :-)
