Subject: [Leica] Heating Pad

A while back, someone suggested wrapping an old, not-recently-used camera 
body in a heating pad set on low for a couple of hours to get the lubricants 
flowing.

This remedy seems to work. Before I heated this old SLR I'm using, the 
mirror was hanging up and the shutter speeds seemed way off. After two 
one-hour sessions with heat, everything is moving much better and the 
shutter speeds are very close. Time to shoot some pictures to see how 
close....

Thanks.

(Time to wrap the heating pad around this old body....)
