Hi, Sometime ago I bought a very old Spotmatic for cheap with some problems. I had the problems fixed and it works perfectly now. I'm intrigued by some of it's details and wonder if someone could help me determine the age of the camera. I guess it's an early one (product n�231). But I couldn't find more precise information about it. It's meter switch is narrower that the later, more common kind and the arrow pointing up is engraved on the camera rather than on the switch. It doesn't look like something adapted, IMHO. Besides that, the battery chamber (is this the correct name) is made entirely of metal (I understand the later ones are not like this) which I'm not sure was not adapted to the camera. What I would like to know is: 1) Is it really an early one (product n�231)? 2) If so, are these details --- meter switch and battery chamber --- correct? 3) Accordingly to the AOHC, product n�231 was built from 7/1964 until 1965, but it doesn't say which month it's production ceased (It also states that product n�23102 was built from 1965, without further detail). Can someone at least say if production stopped in the first or second semester of that year? 4) It's serial n� is 1160700. Could it be the 700th Spotmatic built? Thanks in advance for sharing your expertise. Eduardo. -----Mensagem original----- De: David A.
