Balda Super Baldina

[FallisPhoto]

I recently bought an older model FOLDING Balda Super Baldina on ebay, only to find that the rear lens element of the 50mm Meyer Trioplan lens was missing. I've continued working on it anyway (Jurgen-style restoration/customization), but I need that lens element. Anyone have a spare 50mm Meyer Trioplan with a ruined FRONT lens but a good rear element?

Since then, I bought another Super Baldina, on ebay, in hopes of getting a good rear element. When it arrived, I found that it was missing one part -- can you guess which one? Third time was the charm though.

I've got a strange thing for Baldas....don't have that one though.
Be sure to share some pics from it when they happen.

I have a pic of it, fully restored, in my gallery. I'll save you the trouble of looking for it:
