Jason’s workshops notes:

On first inspection the camera appeared to be in good condition. However, after testing the camera with repeated actions the aperture blades became sticky and then stuck which is a common problem. There was a lot of dust build up in the top of the camera. This was air dusted and swabbed and has now cleared. This would have caused problems in the future for sure with the aperture mechanism. The light seals were completely gone and have been replaced. There was also some lens dust and the lens was completely stripped and cleaned whilst attending to the aperture blades. I think this camera looks great in Luxe Lime.
