More ongoing camera BS. Paid about $7 for this Alpha A33 that had taken a drop and was taken to an unscrupulous/unskilled tech/methamphetamines enthusiast. Broken FFC latch, violently deleted TVS on lens I/O circuit, broken power circuitry and a short. Plus a mangled battery, and a dented pellicle mirror. Not much to be done about the mirror, but the electronics were fixed and I ordered an M42 adapter instead of buying the proper lens.
