Minolta Autocord, later model with Minolta lens name, Optiper MVL shutter. Fully overhauled- last shot shows the condition of the camera before reassembly. Focus is smooth with new grease. Shutter cleaned and adjusted, smooth and accurate. Self-timer works. New mirror installed (kept original Autocord fresnel screen, not a Maxwell but very clean and nice). Wind mechanism cleaned and greased and working smoothly. Heck, I even replaced the yellowed window over the shutter and f-stop indicators. Recovered with GripTac from Cameraleather.com.
The one problem with the camera is a scratch on the taking lens. One photo shows this, with a red arrow pointing to it. It's a shame because the lens is so clean. I took test photos with direct and side light and never saw a problem from this, but I want people to know it's there.
This model Autocord has funny knobs for a strap. It turns out the hole in the center takes a #6-32 tap, so I have tapped them. You can buy a couple of #6-32 button head screws, loc-tite them in, and attach a Hasselblad-type clip. Or there is a cheat using binder clips; ask me.
Includes a lens hood (plastic and works fine) and a lens cap (again, plastic, works fine).
$200 obo. Includes shipping (US) and Paypal fees.
