Curious thread. I've worked on a lot of Hasselblads and never saw one where the black paint of the finder flaked off. For a simple camera with a very basic mechanism, I found the consistency in quality control to be excellent. I had ONE come in as I posted earlier, where the chrome plate on the trim kept flaking as small "glitter" everywhere, but to look at it was still quite shiny. The body had lost most of its chrome plate, but the nickle-plate underneath was still so shiny you couldn't really tell it. I never got to see a 'virgin" body that some tinkerer hadn't done their deeds on before me, Looking back on those years I still admire the quality control, but I guess even Hasselblad had no control on a bad shipment of paint. The mirror pads, baffle door dampers and grease migration were the prime problems. Flecking paint is not a concern. What IS a very definite concern is when is the last time the owner had the body and lens CLA'd by a knowledgeable tech with an access to replacement parts. The "jam of death" is the prime concern. It's not a camera for an occasional user because of the inside-out film feed. If you let a partial roll of film sit in it for weeks or months you will have shots where the film didn't lay flat. regards.
