OK...after going through all 33 pages of this thread, I want a TLR. I knew I should have looked elsewhere....

Minolta Autocord. It has the best ergonomics of any TLR I've used.

Thanks! I was inspired by this article: http://www.luminous-landscape.com/techniques/sculpting_with_light.shtml
I used light painting with the flashlight and difuser mentioned in the article. Fun!

Gosh, Gordon, what kind of strap is that on your Autocord?

Greyscale, if you are interested in trying to fix it yourself, check out this link: http://ratfactor.com/yashica-d-tlr-copal-mxv-shutter
I am waiting for delivery of a Yashica-mat 124 with a stuck shutter that I am going to try the same thing on. I'll let you know how it works

Good luck with your repairs, I do not feel quite so brave. Experience has taught me that when it comes to camera repair, apart from simple things like replacing light seals or replacing coverings, I am far too short on patience and long on thumbs. Delicate work with small parts seems not to be in my nature.Greyscale, if you are interested in trying to fix it yourself, check out this link: http://ratfactor.com/yashica-d-tlr-copal-mxv-shutter

My new to me Rolleicord IId Model 5, and it seems to be in working order.

I'm beginning to feel sick. Not sure if it's a cold or GAS. I wish I didn't sell my Tele-Rollei, but now I have more Rollei's than I can use. Maybe a Yashica, just to hold it and play with it. Nah, maybe a Mamiya. Nah. Not this month.

Not sure of your locale, but there is a US eBay seller that sells good, inexpensive replacements. I actually helped him with some Rolleiflex dimensions (that is the extent of my affiliation). If you can get the dimensions of yours, he may have a near match already. If not, he will cut to dimensions if contacted.

This month is almost over...
I have ordered a camera's worth of Christmas presents, and I don't get more money until mid December.
I have an excellent pre-war Rolleicord Ia, type 2, and a mint pre-war Rolleiflex Automat to try out, so I shouldn't complain.
December is a good month for shopping on the auction site, however. People spend on presents and food, so they don't want to bid on auctions, and if they do they don't go that high. There are exceptions, of course, but in general, December is a good month for camera buyers.

Yes I noticed they sell one cut to fit a Reflekta II, so I'm going to measure the one in this plain old Reflekta and see if I'm lucky enough to find that they both use the same size mirror.

That's a Rolleicord II model/type 6. Made for a short while before the III.
There's no IId. The letter is just something collectors invented to use instead of numbering the types. "IId" would mean "II, type 4", so your camera would be a "IIf" using that system.
