Any one fancy an Isolette Project.

[SCOTFORTHLAD]

I have an Isolette 11,in good cosmetic/mechanical order,but it has a jammed shutter,some minute light leaks on the bellows,and the lens looks as if it needs a light clean.

The lens is an Apotar 85mm/4.5,and the shutter is a Prontor-S with speeds up to 300.

If anyone out there would like to have this as a restoration project,and will cover the postage/shipping,I'll pass it on,just let me know.

Cheers,
Brian.

very generous of you Brian, i hope it goes to someone that will make good use of it

I have a restored one and it is worth the effort or money.

 

[SCOTFORTHLAD]

Thanks everyone,all sorted.

In the end I decided to rescue the Isolette myself,but took the easy way out and sent it to a man with the expertise to do so.
So the camera is currently in Belfast with Leslie Gilmore who is working his magic on it,and should be back with me soon

Cheers,
Brian.

Oh yes...Lesley Gilmore aka Beedhams, your Isolette is truly in good hands.

The Isolette returned today,with replacement bellows and a cleaned and adjusted lens and working shutter.A roll of neopan 400 has been loaded,and I'll give it a run out over the next couple of weeks.
