RE: Noblex 135U problem?

[Cedar Springs B&B Lodge <cedarsprings@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All;

Another suggestion on this problem:
It may be an out of adjustment main switch  (microswitch).  This can happen
if the camera has been jarred.  Just have the camera checked by a
technician, shouldn't be too expensive as it's just a simple re-adjustment.
