Canon F1 body 120116: shutter speeds

I measured the shutter speeds on this body using a fast photocell and a storage oscilloscope with the results shown in the table. I have no idea how these compare with other cameras of this type.

Canon F1 body 120116: seals

I had a look at the foam light seals on this camera, and found them to be badly decayed. This is normal with a camera of this age. I replaced the seals in November 2007 using replacements provided in the very good kit sold by Jon Goodman on ebay here. A test using Ilford HP5+ film showed no light leaks.
