Nikon F3HP 35mm SLR Film Camera
Classic Nikon F3HP
35mm SLR Film Camera
with DE-3 High Point Viewfinder.
Super Clean, 1 Owner.
Needs Service.
I don''t have the expertise to repair this
camera so I''ll pass it along to another
photographer-collector for repair,
parts, or display.
Lots of great parts on this camera (pic 5).
What''s wrong with it? It took a hit on the
edge of a desk that dented the top plate
near the film counter window (pic 6). There''s
also a dent (separate incident) on the top
of the viewfinder (pic 6). There''s no damage
internally in the viewfinder as the mirror
is clean and clear (pic 8). With new
batteries installed the camera does not
power up. The battery compartment never
has had corrosion so that''s good. My guess
is that the dent near the counter may have
disconnected a wire or circuit board. Easy fix?
Maybe but maybe not.
So all levers, dials, and knobs work, and the shutter
will fire manually.
I mail daily.
Thanks for stopping by, Chris
