Who can I use to "clean up" this camera which I intend to use. Would like to have a new, bright ground glass. Do not intend to use rear shutter at all. I have a source to drill lens boards.

Thanks for the continued help.

I'm not sure why you want to 'brightent' you ground glass. Ground glass doesn't degrade with age, if it's dirty remove it (4 screws) and wash it in dish soap. Beattie screens can make the image brighter but will cost equal to the cost of the camera and you'ld lose any originality.

If you want somebody to look it over, lube what needs lubed and calibrate the rangefinder, then contact me off line, call Fred Lustig, or maybe Columbus Camera. I"m sure other people will have other great repair people too.
