If you don't like opening the camera, might be worth getting a metal plug unit off theo and looking at argon purging for 6 months to annual maintenance.
Hi Rob,
Just a few more questions for you or anyone else?

The desiccant strips have plastic each side of them.
When I tried to peel the plastic off it left me with just
a thin layer of what looked like cardboard each side.
Does that sound correct to you?
I expected to see a layer of only desiccant.
I had to cut the strip shorter to fit inside the tube.

Also - where can I buy just a little spray can of argon?


cheers
Allan
