    That can't be a real Climate-Proof - it actually appears to have weathered the elements rather well :p.

    Round pushers with gaskets hold out moisture a lot better than the previous rectangular style pushers Uni-Compax Maybe thats the idea behind the name.

    +1 ...UG are like crack. I've been hooked ever since I saw that first 35mm Tri Compax in a Paris shop last year and the owner would not sell it to me because he was convinced I could not get it serviced in the states. I now have 6. For me the 30's 40's 50's are magical. I am impressed with the 60's sport models but not with the prices.

    I had the same experience with a seller in Spain last year. As if the superiority of our ice-cube-making technology and toilet paper softness were not self-evident.

    Be careful with UG, you can be entering in a bottomless hole
