Keystone 1040 Everflash Disc Camera


I've had this little Keystone disc camera for over 10 years, but never got to use it because the sliding switch to wind it with seemed loose or broken. Well, today (March 27th, 2022), I took it apart and fixed it. Now it works again and I have gotten to shoot with it.

This camera was missing a few parts and didn't work when I got it. I took it apart and managed to get it working again recently. The price tag is still stuck on the back and it was only .50 cents. Unless the sticker is green, in which case it was half price. Even though the switch to shift it from "Normal" to "Telephoto" is missing, the camera still works. If I stick a small piece of metal, like a tiny screwdriver, into a small hole where the switch used to be, I can adjust it from either lens setting.
