Just came across this folder and bought it. I think it may need some adjusting, the focus is a little stiff. Do you know where I can find a repair manual for this or extra parts? This seems like a solid built camera. Really Cool.

Never saw anything like it but it looks cool. I think you will find this, as with most old folders, can only be repaired with parts from another that is a parts camera. However, sometimes it can be just a simple adjustment. What seems to be wrong with it? There are some others on the forum that like to tinker with and fix old folders. Maybe they can help it they know what the problem is.
 
You can carefully remove the focusing rim. Then you mark the infinity position on the stationary inner ring and the floating outer ring. Unscrew the the outer ring, clean the threads on both inner and outer rings with lighter fluid. DON'T get any where it isn't suppose to be. After they threads are clean, use 3 in 1 oil LIGHTLY on the threads re-screw in to the infinity position and put the focusing rim back on.
