Here is a beautiful Argus C3 camera with lens that was completely disassembled and rebuilt back to factory specifications by the previous owner, he does this as a vendor on that auction site. It has been cleaned and lubed and adjusted so it sparkles and works. The viewfinder and rangefinder are clean and easy to see through. The shutter works very well and the lens is clean too.
Two more things I want you to know about this camera. If you use the little geared finger wheel at the top of the camera to focus with as it was designed to do, it is a little hard to move the focus, at least with my finger. So, just grab the lens with your left hand and turn it to focus just as you would with any other manual focus camera - works good! And, the case is nice, the strap is starting to look a

If this is as you say, it's a sweet deal. I lucked on a mint never used brick a while ago and the comparison to the usual beat-up models one finds at yard sales and thrift stores was startling -- crystal clear viewfinder, crisp rangefinder.

Pretty sweet, all in all, and well worth what ur asking here even without the snappy leather.
 
Thanks, yes it is very different to hold and use a clean one when all you have even seen are the yard sale types.
