A nice example of this cool little Solida IIIe 6x6 folder. This model has the uncoupled rangefinder and double-exposure block. The shutter release is up on the top plate, which makes it a bit more familiar to shoot. The 80mm/2.9 Radionar is fairly clean with no mold, but does exhibit the dots and spots of its age, and a slight swirl of some (over-) cleaning on the coating. I included a few pix using the camera-fair hustle of shining through the back...bit also 1-2 with light from the front, and you'll see spotting. (This is with a floodlight, to make sure the imperfections were shown.) The body and struts and interior are all excellent. The shutter was recently cleaned, and sounds on target - though I have *not* run it against a known baseline to confirm actual speeds. I have not film tested the camera...but, as always, lemme know if there's an issue, though I can't see any in running it through dry-firing, etc.
No scratches on chrome or leather of any note, this is a very clean, nice example of a solid performer of a camera.
