Jason’s workshops notes:

Excellent condition, early manufacture year and original black cover extremely good for age of camera so have kept this original. Stored ion good conditions for many years but apertures were stuck and red flag did not raise. Cause was dust build up on aperture spring which was stripped and cleaned. All working very well now. Lovely early camera made within the first 5 years of Trip 35 production.
