Chris,
The Alpa 7 was my first too. I had other later models but still find only the 7B and 8B could beat it with the advance levers. To use the range finder, I have to hold it vertically with the left (range finder windows) side up.
What a bargain you had even considering it was in '71. with a Dalmeyer too!
🙂The halcyon days before the 'net when bargains could be sniffed out. The Alpa was a very niche product in the UK and in the 70's very out of fashion. My 7 has the rewind lever fitted although my other, a 6, does not.
