Show off your Leica I/II/III/LTM Camera

[WoodallP]

Just seen on eBay, do you think a bit of oil and a new covering from Aki-Asahi would do the job? I'm a bit worried though as it doesn't say if the take up spool is present.

Told you not to keep it in a leather case.

Obviously a half case!

Obviously a half case!

The news is that someone bought it! It was up at 99 euros and I offered 30 euros as I had seed that the speed knob was a pre-III one and I could probably salvage that and some contemporary screws etc. It was in France so only 5€ postage; however, someone obviously bid higher.

You should congratulate yourself on your failure to buy it! I doubt you would be able to get bits off without wrecking them in the process. If the shaft that the speed dial is attached to has swollen with rust etc...

The new owner would do well to put it in a bucket of diesel for a month or so

Yes, but that lens is a little late to be emitting its own particles. Still makes those solar particles look very purdy! In fact, that whole camera is quite lovely.

The dust in the viewfinder teaches your eyes to focus on the soul of the image instead of the pixels.
