Took delivery of this camera today, cost me £6.50 inc P&P, and if nothing else will make a nice ornament 
Quite heavy for the size and is in a rough condition.
front:
back:
side:
I have no idea if it's still light proof, looks it despite the cracking in the leather etc. I do have 2 noticeable problems though:
1) A sticky shutter, can take far too long to close in some cases.
2) the view finder is filthy to the point you can just make out colours:
I won't even consider buying film for it until I can get these 2 issues sorted, then, once I have film, I'll be able to see the state of the lens.
I have downloaded and printed off the user manual for this camera, but does anyone either know how to, or can point me in the right direction of taking it apart and cleaning it? Any websites dedicated to restoring old cameras?
