Ranger 002
Ensign Ranger ll strip-down. The hinge to the film compartment door had long since come adrift. Whilst solidly made, the hinge assembly is not really upto the job of handling the weight of the door. And it was riveted to the body, whereas most other components were screw fitted. The bellows have many pinhole leaks too, but the shutter is good. I would like to try and seal the bellows. They cannot be removed as they are fixed in place within the cast alloy bodywork.
