Boy, was this thing a mess when I started on it.

Some sort of whitish coating was all over the pleather, but it cleaned off with some Lysol All Purpose. So I kept on digging, and eventually got it fixed.

It was not a difficult job, but I messed up the focal plane somehow. I think it was gluing the front plate bushing back on with Weldbond. I should have used something thinner, like CA. But hey, what more fun can you have for $4?
