What was the lens Moose?
Some of the screw mount bods were tricky - Mamiyas and Fujicas in particular.

I seem to recall that the Mamiyas were kind of heavy, clunky things.
My 'in case I need to use a screwmount something or other' camera is
a Fujica ST605n, a relatively compact and nicely finished body. I
bought a newly CLAed one for about what you paid for the Mamiya.
It's no OM, but rather a nice camera - and nice and clean and the
foam is good.
Of course, the lens I wanted to use on it won't fit, it projects too
far back and hits the stop-down mechanism.

The popular M42-mount Mamiya/Sekor 1000DTL had a mercury battery
but the later DSX1000 takes our old friend, the SR44. Anyway, it
arrived today and after I cleaned it up, I discovered that the 55mm
had a stuck aperture. I put a small amount of "Goo Gone" (a
light solvent) on a Q-tip (cotton swab), and daubed it on the
aperture pin, then started working the aperture pin. Then daubed
again, worked the pin again. And again... I can't really claim it
was cost effective but I got it working again.
I'm gonna use John's instructions to replace the foam when I get
around to it.
