O/T Camera Repair

Allan in NE · Aug 13, 2010

So,

Had to send my camera into the factory for repair. Got the 7-day repair back today exactly 30 days later. :>)

Anyhoo, thought I'd put some pictures up of the 966 workin' for a livin' this afternoon just to see if the darned thing works right.

Let me know if the pictures are okay or if I need to do some adjusting?

Great pic Allan they may want to tweak the color a bit more ..--- No wait !! That is an International.
(Duck!)

Really clear too! Is that a water windmill I see in the back ground ? Used to seeing those closer to the barn / house.

Looks like that patch is about ready for the drill.

Question for you Allan. I got a camera that is broke as well. Is it worth it to have it fixed or should a guy buy a new one? It is a Canon Power Shot A 300

Wife was mad that I had the camera all the time so she went and bought a new one. About that same time the old one broke and we were down to one camera again. Wife is unhappy again.

I had a nikon that is well used and had brand new battery's in it and would not turn on or the shutter come out. I took the battery's out of it for 5 minutes and put them back in and has been working ever since.

Better put some new film in it as the color is a bit off.

You can't see the hills. You better send it back.

The color is way off! The front wheels look yellow.
I spent alot of time in a couple of ol gals like that growing up. Still makes me a little homesick to hop in one for a few minutes. I clearly remember the day we got a new 14 with a factory cab. Never thought it would get any better than that.

Hi Gary,

If you call the repair people at Canon, sometimes they can walk you thru a simple reset on the camera (they drain that hidden memory battery and reset the software back to "new").

If that doesn't work, he tells you how/when to send it to the factory service in Virginia and "about" what it's gonna cost. They'll also offer you a "trade-in" deal on a new model.

In my case, it was far cheaper to fix this one, because when the dust settles, they'll actually knock off 20% of the original repair estimate just to keep you with Canon.

I'd sure call 'em, because depending what's wrong with the camera, it might not cost you anything.

Yeah,

I catch he!! over those derned wheels. Only color the tire shop had when I needed 'em.

I totally rebuilt this tractor bumper to bumper a few years ago and the old sister still holds 'er own. Cab is really nice (tells me that I gotta cinch up that 1066 too) :>)

Gonna post this "re-sized" picture to see if it's any better.

You know they make a product called paint now, to fix those yellow wheels! LOL When I had my FedEx Home Delivery route, the truck came with no spare tire OR wheel! Found some mounted but never run tires, but the wheels did not fit. Freightliner could get me black wheels MONTHS before they could get me white, so I painted them on my fron porch AFTER I had the tires mounted. Worked out good, kept FedEx happy too! Greg

I see in your pictures you have suit case weights on the IHC. I have 4 for sale like those.

Kentb of SWMO · Aug 13, 2010

I think the camera is still broke. It has a tint problem that makes those red front wheels look YELLOW.

Yep, still broke. The pictures loaded a lot slower than usual.

Photos look great; now if I could only see through the windshield.

Thanks for sharing your photos with us.
