I came across this camera at an antique store, where one of the dealers is trying to sell off over 100 cameras he bought one day at an estate sale. A lot of them look like they spent years in a basement somwhere, and this one was no exception. The bottom covering was coming off, the viewfinder was hazy, the rangefinder was way off target, and of course, the filter ring was dinged up badly, being made of thin aluminum.
So I glued, straightened, cleaned, and adjusted what needed it, and came out with a decent camera.

Put a roll of BW400CN in it, and went in search of something interesting to test it on.

The camera has a good feel to it, the controls are well laid out, but take a little getting used to, and the lens/shutter combination is just great.

Looks to me like it'll do great once it gets used a bit. Was this before or after you cleaned it up?

The photos are post repair. There is also a set of photos taken at a bus museum in the Critique section. I hope you saw the rest of the ones linked to this post.
