Re: ME Super diagnosis needed

There are quite a few techs that can still do a CLA on the mechanical parts. If any of the electronics are bad you're kind of out of luck. Unfortunately the only one I've used recently is in Tenn. and you being in SA could probably buy a working ME Super for less than the shipping charges.

Re: ME Super diagnosis needed

I have 3 ME Supers. (One bought new & the other two from a job lot I bought). One still works perfectly, one doesn't fire occasionally & the third fires only intermittently. From what I have read, a CLA (Clean, Lube & Adjust) service is necessary. Are there still techs who can do that?

I think the composition in #3 and its mono counterpart #7 is the strongest. Really captures the instant, the action and the emotion. IMO the color in #3 is somewhat distracting. The color makes it a more lively photo but my eye is drawn to the bright colors in the boots. I think #3 does a

That's pretty interesting. I opened the link before reading your description and my first impression was that the buildings were snow. This might make you think twice about buying a clifftop house, although to be fair they were a long way back from the cliff beforehand.
