Jason’s workshops notes:

Camera arrived in very good condition. A well looked after camera. Aperture blades were stuck due to lack of use long term storage for many years, also oily deposits. Red flag was also stuck in down position due to dust and dirt. Light meter was strong and working well so the camera was given a complete service, strip and clean. Strangely, 2nd lens screws were glued in place. Never seen this before and camera showed no signs of being stripped previously? These were removed, cleaned and replaced in order to keep known manufacture process.
