As usual, I get sentimental about an old camera and I convince myself
that if deserves a second chance
One curious thing about this camera is that the winding is on the botom of the camera. There is no buttons on the top of the camera. I like the rounded fatty shape of the body.

One of the wires of the lightmeter was broken. I peeled it and welded. I put some blue plastic wrapping to protct the welded wire.
There is minor rust on the viewfinder mask.
The shutter. There are four big screws that need to be removed from the
inside of the camera. There are two in each film well.
The camera without shutter and lens.
That plastic lever on the middle of the picture is the ONLY plastic
piece of the camera, and sure enough, It has splitted. This lever
operates the shutter.
I removed all the ancilliaries that held in place the lever.
The splitted lever.
I first tried to brace the piece with a nylon ring but the ring was too
flexible.
With very thin copper wire I reinforced the lever. I held the wite with
instant glue.
The lever in place.
The camera works, but I have to check the shutter speeds. They sound
too quick to me.
