The owner then threw it in a draw for a few years. I opened it up, and as you might imagine, there are some problems, but after bathing it in my own concoction, I have the shutter working at slow speeds and it is on it's way to working. Naturally, this is a labor of love. I just couldn't stand to see an "M" not working. Anyway, I need some parts and I am looking for a parts camera. I don't need any range finder parts, that cleaned up very well and looks great. The bottom part of the camera had a number of shafts "frozen" and I am slowly getting them back, but I do want to replace some of the parts down there. I also need the self timer lever assembly. That just rusted solid and it needs to be completely replaced, although the selftimer works just fine. I want to get the camera working and shoot some pictures with it and then just add it to the collection and maybe use it when I'm camping or in rough environments. Heaven knows, it has a history.... I will never sell this camera, I've spent too much time on it. If you have parts to sell or donate (he he) please reply to tlianza@sequelimaging.com Thanks alot.
