A wonderful camera!

The main problem with some of them is an erratic film advance mechanism. 
 The camera uses a lever winder, and it takes about 3 winds to advance.  
During those winds you may feel a "snap", and this is where the ratchet 
pawl skips a tooth or two.  So you may get overlapped images.  It usually 
happens nearer the middle to end of the roll.  I had a camera repair shop 
repair the ratchet.

One of my lenses was fogged inside.  I had to disassemble one and clean 
it.  Easy job.
