Kodak Retina IIIc rebuild

Finished another one. Somebody gave me this camera. Just GAVE it to me. He said it was a basket case. I like “basket cases”. 3 days of rework and cleaning and it’s like brand new. There is a slight bit of fungus but it’s very mild. I cleaned off all I could with a 50/50 mix of hydrogen peroxide and ammonia. You won’t be able to tell at all after the test photos. This camera was from 1956-1958. ANY camera that is 65 years old and still functioning is absolute testament to the German design and build quality. Can’t wait to load up some film this weekend. 😁
