NIKON F3 35MM FILM SLR CAMERA BODY - FAULTY À BEAUZELLE

Nikon F3 35mm SLR film camera body, with strap, focusing screen and front cap. Sold for parts or repair as it is not working correctly.  Externally this body has some cosmetic signs of wear and age, but no obvious dents or cracks. When batteries are installed the shutter fires, but always at the same speed, irrespective of the shutter speed dial. The frame counter stays stuck on zero, even when a whole film has been wound through the camera. This will need to be repaired. The electrics seem to be working - when fresh batteries are installed the viewfinder readouts function. When no batteries are installed the shutter won't fire.  The focusing screen is in good condition, it's clean with some minor marks and specks of dust. The mirror is good, with minor signs of use. The lens mount seems to be functional - lenses mount and release correctly. The film chamber is clean and tidy, the pressure plate is good and the shutter curtain looks OK too. It will need new light seals and mirror damper foam. No other functions tested.  For items sold for 'parts or repair' - I try to give a good description of any faults I find, but it is not always possible to give a complete list, and there will sometimes be other problems not described in the listing.
