Hasselblad Questions from a First-Time Medium Format Shooter

I have the 203FE (and 503CW) and it is a great camera, but finicky. I've taken mine to the Hasselblad NA HQs in Union, NJ for a couple of minor issues. Their tech, Dennis, specializes in the 203 and is terrific. If seems like you got a great deal and if you decide to keep it, it might be worth your while to give him a call or just send it in for a CLA.

I have a 503 CX which I bought used and have used over ten years. I did not need the power wind option of the 503 CW.

They still, as of July 2019, accept the 200 bodies. You better take advantage of this service soon (like right now).
