Gakkenflex…
… my first DIY camera!!~
I know there are many many DIY cameras but it wasn’t until recently that I manage to get my hands on one. Or rather I borrowed stole it from someone *cough cough .. Adrian*
Fixing a camera sounds totally fun and I thought it was a piece of cake. Like fixing lego. But I was super wrong.
The manual was in Japanese and I’m a total Japanese noob. So I had to survive with just the illustration. Thank god they drew out every single step. Buuuut, part of the illustration is a bit “curut” (inaccurate). So I cheated and googled it.
Overall : It was Super Fun and ermmm…. I took 3 freaking hours to fix it.
*tee hee hee*

massy: I think both sides is the same.
I think i used the one with double layer protective screen (blue) one on top. you might want to spare a cloth to wipe out your finger print before you cover the top.
