Light leak in Autocord

My Autocord developed a light leak, which was traced to the old seals. Had to shoot a test roll to confirm it; some frames came out well enough anyway. You can see the leak in some of the pictures.

In the Rosedal (rose garden), few roses but interesting old iron structures and shadows.

In this frame I had a developing issue:

A trail near the rose garden.

I confess to never having checked before the health of the old worn seals. Obvious, once found.

The Autocord is a favorite camera, I am really glad to have found the leak. As Covid is getting under control down here, photography becomes possible again, even in our rainy and gray winter.

New seals in place, a test roll came out fine.
