This is the version made from 1937-1939 with a Kodak Ektar 5cm/3.5 lens. Comes with ever-ready case in excellent condition.
Camera appears to be 100% functional. I sacrificed an old roll of film and tested the following functions: film advance, shutter release, film counter accuracy, film rewind function. RF functions correctly, vertical alignment slightly off. VF is reasonably clear but RF would benefit from a cleaning. Front cover opens and closes smoothly, folding mechanism and shutter linkages are in good shape and are not binding or loose. Bellows appears very good and I can't see any evidence of pinholes or tears. Shutter speeds appear accurate, including the slow speeds. Aperture blades open and close smoothly. Focus is a bit stiff, but still usable.
Cosmetically, leather is in good shape with no tears, just a few small scuffs. Should clean up very nicely. Chrome is in nice shape with no pitting, but some wear marks. Paint shows some wear on the edges and trim, but not too bad.
Glass is in good shape but there appears to be some haze inside the front lens group. Not too serious, but would be noticable if shooting into the light. Rear cell group looks clear.
Leather case is in excellent condition. No torn stitching or wear/scuffs on the leather. Strap should be replaced as it's getting thin in spots.
$50.00 takes it, plus $10.00 USPS shipping anywhere in CONUS. PayPal payment only, please.
