I discovered this rolleiflex whilst helping mum clear out her loft (a never ending job it would seem). It belonged to either Great Aunt Bea or to a photographer my parents knew who gave it to them when he moved abroad (we need to find the other one to identify whos is whos).
Anyway back on topic, I'm interested to know a little more about it. Its serial number is 1026373 which i believe dates it to around the early 40s and it would be an automat model 2,3 or 4.
I quite fancy getting the camera working again and was wondering what people suggest; service or just stick some film in and see what happens? With regards service i have read about Newton Ellis, Brian Mickleboro and Sendean in London, any thoughts?
Thanks for your help
