The "not worth fixing" line gets thrown around way too fast. A stuck film advance on something like an OM-1 or a K1000 is usually a bad sprocket or a gummed-up clutch, and a shop with the right tools has it apart and back together before lunch. Calling it a write-off just because it's a slow job, not a hard one, feels like the shop deciding their time is worth more than the camera. I get that bench time costs money, but the honest move is quoting a fair price and letting the owner decide, not shutting it down at the counter. Plenty of those bodies are still going 40 years later once someone actually opens them up.

My 2011 Antec case did the same thing to two drives.

Man I feel this in my soul. There's a taco truck by my work that does 3 for $5 and I used to bring lunch from home every single day, now I'm out there rain or shine like a weirdo checking if their lights are on. The worst part is when you show up and they're just gone, no sign, no warning, and you stand there looking at an empty parking lot feeling stupid. That forecast checking thing is real though, I do the same thing with this guy's facebook page hoping he posts something. $2 for six dumplings is criminal in the best way and honestly your burrito place never stood a chance.
