Staring at a Pentax K1000's insides today, I felt a shift in repair work

The advance lever was jammed, which used to mean digging through paper manuals for hours. Now, I just check online forums and usually find a fix right away. I mean, it's quicker, but idk, maybe it's just me but I miss the hands-on puzzle of mechanical cameras. Still, it's nice to easily share tips with other repair folks now.

Used to think old-school was better, but online tips changed my tune.

Reddit's woodworking forum saved me hours.

Actually, @logan_anderson40's point about old-school vs. online made me realize those forums preserve tricks that masters never wrote down. It's like saving a whole craft from fading away.
