Cleaned a stuck shutter with a drop of lighter fluid instead of my usual stuff, and it actually worked (for now).

Heck yeah, I've fixed so much old gear with random household solvents!

Ever wonder how many old cameras get tossed just because of a sticky shutter? I mean, if a drop of lighter fluid can fix it, that's a whole camera saved from the trash. Makes me want to dig out my grandpa's old point-and-shoot and see if I can bring it back to life. It's wild what a little basic solvent can do.

Bring it back to life" is such a great feeling, saving something from the trash.
