Just received my first top rangefinder,did have a nice body and bellows, but a few things were missing, infinity stops, screws and ferrels to attach bellows, just about everyting in the rangefinder, distance scale for track, of course the battery door, cams, linkage. Broken hinges on track, broken rear rails, and one broken rail on the door. This camera was described as an easy project. Also the GG/Hood, lens, lens board, This may take a few days to fix. Russ

Hope it was a bargain - price wise.

Think I will strip off the useless rangefinder, sell the Graflok back and bellows, and make it into a poor mans GG view camera. I have a 203mm already mounted in a lensboard, and a spare spring back, plus a spare bellows, I should recover my investment. Russ
