Jason’s workshops notes:

This camera has clearly been stored in excellent conditions for many years, preserving its quality over time. However, the aperture blades had become sticky, and the red flag mechanism wasn’t functioning properly due to a light buildup of oil or grease within the aperture assembly. After a thorough disassembly and cleaning, all components are now working perfectly. This well-cared-for camera is now ready for a new home and eager to start capturing memories again.
