Welta Weltur WF cleaning

[Podvoprosov]

Hi, Just got a nice MF folder - Welta Weltur (CZJ Tessar 2.8\75) - fully working, exept bellows & really dirty viewfinder\rangefinder. There is pretty simple RF focusing system I think, But disassembly without any support information can be dramatic...
So if You know links for Welta service\repair manuals or just disassembly photos - please, let me know.
Thanks!

I'm working on one, and will be getting to this stage in a few weeks. Right now, it's in England, getting a new bellows. When I get to this stage, I'll take some photos and post them for you.

My gallery here is about half-full of photos of my restored cameras (you'll have to get past a lot of my nudes to see them all though). I'd be happy to overhaul your Ikonta, but I don't do vertical rangefinder alignments on super Ikontas -- takes too long and can't be done cost-effectively. If your images are tracking diagonally, it can take days to fix it.

My rates are $80 for a CLA on a folder. Anything beyond that depends on the job, parts, and etcetera.
