One very interesting thing about this camera, and the only reason why I
bought it, is that there is a removable plate on the back that has a 6
by 6 cm hole in it. This allows you to make square 6 by 6 pictures or,
when the plate is removed, 6 by 9 pictures can me taken. The viewfinder
has also an aluminum slide that has a square and a rectangular hole in
it.
After removing the winding knob, a brass screw can be seen on the
right. Somebody else has already worked on this camera and stripped the
head of the screw.
The other knob has to be unscewed too. The aluminum gets rusted and
some oil has to be applied.
The viewfinder. Note the thin aluminum slide on the front part of the
viewfinder. This slide is very fragile. Pull out the metal square piece
and all the lenses come out.
Two screws hold in place the shutter. The quality is rather
poor.
The shutter. A night in tricloroethylene did the job.
The quality of this camera is rather disapointing. I can hardly believe
that it is a Kodak. It is the first time I see a Kodak camera that it
is actully not nice. The top cover is made out with a greyish plastic
that makes the camera look like a piñata toy. The focusing
system is so crude that it is nearly impossible to turn the lens
without cutting your fingertips with the tin.
