Had a week where every shutter I touched was a jammed Nikon FE...
Three cameras came in on Monday alone, all with mirror stuck up. Two were FE's, one an FM. Thought maybe it was a bad batch of something but they were from different states. Ended up being the same foam bumper decay in all three. Took about 45 minutes each to clean out the old gunk and replace. Has anyone else seen a weird cluster of the same issue come through all at once like that?

Three FE's in a row with foam rot is wild, I had a similar streak with Canon AE-1 programs last year. Found the same decaying bumper issue in four of them over two weeks from completely different sellers. It's almost like the foam hits its expiration date all at once across the country. Makes you wonder if the factory used the same bad batch of foam in that era.
