I've got one set of jewelers screw drivers and a bunch of tweaker screw drivers gathered up. Will bring my soldering station from work. looking forward to opening a camera.

I hope somebody will be snapping and posting photos of the process, details, etc. for those who can't make it.  Good luck!

bow4elk, I have been really busy getting ready for tomorrow.  I will get every thing you need as soon as we get back from Spokane.  I have several PM's that I will not have time to answer until Sunday.

  When you take the front cover off of your camera, use it to make a template fpr the camera. Trace around it and inside the flash and lens openings. I will show you how to use this to make your own template Sunday.

I'm gonna try to document as much of it a possible!!

Seth,  I have never bought a Python cable because I have never locked my cameras. I did a Google search on "Python locking cables" and came up with tons of locations where you can get them. Lowe's and bicycle shops were a couple on the list.

We would take pictures but every camera within a 100 yards will be in pieces

[Bones]

  I will have an extra camera, and Griz, yours will be back together in a few minutes and so will BigDave's.

LMAO!

Moose chili is prepped and stuff is ready to go!  Does anyone have a mechanics light they can bring? It might come in handy with the close solder work. Sometimes those flourescent shop lights seem way far up there.

Bones, we're supposed to peel off the softer neoprene looking thing in the lid of our box right? Not the rubber side?

[bow4elk]

bigdave - freeze the case for a couple hours in the open position.  Then peel out the lid liner (foam) carefully so you don't tear it.  The rubber bladder just pulls  out - no freezing required.

[Bones]

Dave,  I will bring my light. I don't think we will need it because the soldering is pretty easy.
