My grandma left me a few cameras before she passed away, asking me to get them developed. I thought they were all disposables but it turns out they were just old 35mm cameras<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

===== UPDATE (A MONTH LATER)! =====<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Wow. My mind is blown. Look at this photo of my dad from the mid-late 90s that turned up on this camera. UNREAL! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

==========<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the cameras had 22 exposures left and assuming it\u2019s a 25-35 exposure roll, there might be a few vintage photos on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately the battery connections in the camera were severely corroded with blue battery acid covering the terminals. I got to work using a chopstick to pry out most of the gunk. Then I read online that one can use lemon juice to clean away battery acid. Using a tiny little bottle cleaning brush in my kitchen I started wiping away the battery acid to reveal the metal terminals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The terminals after cleaning. Not perfect, but works!<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

At first nothing, but after removing the batteries and vigorously cleaning again, a tiny red light started glowing! I tried snapping a photo, thinking I\u2019d take the remaining 22 photos before mailing them in to be developed. Nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I reached out to The Dark Room<\/a>, asking if I can mail the entire camera in. Maybe they can open the camera in their dark room and get the few photos off it. Unfortunately this morning I heard back and they only accept film rolls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Back to the drawing board, I turned the camera back on only to find it was dead. Probably because I left the lens cover open. Studying the camera closer I found a tiny little button on the bottom near the \u201cOPEN\u201d slider to get the film out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
The tiny rewind button: >>o<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I loaded the batteries, the red light came on, and I pushed the tiny button in with a screw. SUCCESS! The camera started making a winding noise. Sure enough, the indicator now reads \u201c1.\u201d I popped open the film door and a roll of Kodak film popped out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Off to The Dark Room<\/a> it goes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
