Restoring Broken 1967 Nikon Nikkormat FTN Vintage Camera

This time, I made a video about the repair and restoration of Nikomat FTN. Nikomat(Nikkormat) FTN is a very popular and affordable 35mm film camera even nowadays. The Nikomat FTN used the copal square metal blade shutter which is well-built and can last for long long time. This one was jammed due to oxidation and the light meter wasn't working too. I tried my best to restore this one and hope you get some useful information from my video. I also provide some links of the product that I used in the process. Enjoy watching!
