More cameras than shots
I just picked up an old Zeiss Ikonta 35 on the Bay of Pigs, hopefully this link works:

It's got Xenar lens and Compur Rapid shutter so is one of the early ones - not yet looked up the lens serial number to determine the age. I didn't realise that would also mean no flash sync and, as it turns out, no tripod bush, which should be on the folding cover near the hinge.
It seems to be all there but the focus ring was loose, a couple of the grub screws have seen better days. The glass needs a bit of a clean, but the shutter is sticky to the point of almost not working - 1/10s is more like 4 seconds - in fact most of the settings are. So a fixer-upper but is looking nice on the shelf for now!

A nice looking camera. Hope you can get it sorted.
