Geez, remember the good ol' days when you could snipe an auction and all that the camera needed was some Windex and some Ronsonol on the escapement? eBay is the wild west these days...

If you can't fix it with a hammer... you got an electrical problem
even duct tape can't fix stupid.... but it can muffle it (SilentObserver)

It’s an Ansco-branded Isolette III with uncoupled rangefinder. They’re klunky in use, as the rangefinder and viewfinder are separate, but it will be fun to fix and I’d like to take it to the boardwalk come summer. It’ll need new bellows, as do all Agfa/Ansco 6x6 folders (shy of the Supers) but there are a few sources these days. I’m looking forward to bright red bellows on this, assuming the camera’s not complete junk.

Due here by Saturday. I think the Super Memar is due early next week...

AWESOME!! Uncoupled rangefinder is the norm for me (but I use accessory ones)
