Would you spend more repairing the camera than replacing it?

I want an estimate before agreeing to parts. Repair has value, but that does not make every cost sensible. What is included, and who pays if the first diagnosis is wrong?

For this wish, Minh Trần: I am interested in the company, less in producing a polished result. Would that fit? One thing I should say upfront: I cannot commit to every week.

I can leave that question open until the practical details are clearer. I want to keep “Restore a camera with a knowledgeable friend” manageable for the people involved. It would fit the small version I have in mind. We can enjoy making an attempt without promising a polished outcome.

I would also like to ask a relative whether they would like to record a short memory. For me, I cannot commit to every week.

I would like to choose one of my old cameras for a careful assessment with an experienced friend, then undertake only repairs within our competence. We can finish with a short photo walk if it is usable. I will cover agreed parts and specialist work, not expect free labour.

Please leave room for someone to have a less positive experience too. I would also like to ask a relative whether they would like to record a short memory.
