Made in Occupied Japan on the bottom plate. I bought this as a parts camera on eBay, thought I might be able to get the shutter working (totally jammed when I got it), and I did get it all running and working fine but the curtains are pretty well gone. Looks like somebody before me attempted a repair but was incomplete about it. I tried a bit of liquid electrical tape and didn't get even one of the little pinholes sealed up so I'm going to pass it on to somebody that wants to shoot it. I've got a Canon 7 that works and that's enough rangefinder for me.

Rangefinder and viewfinder windows cleaned up nicely, brightened up more than I thought they would. Winding on and shutter cocking are now smooth and crisp. Should be an easy repair for Youxin or one of the other pros.

Photos were just taken right now (look at EXIF/date stamp info) and show the two small shims I found loose under the top plate, and the "Germany" stamped take up spool that will be included.

I have $58 into it plus my time which is negated by the need for a tear down for the new curtains, so how about $65 shipped in CONUS.

Please PM me if interested to establish order.
