Jason’s workshops notes:

The aperture blades on this camera had become sticky and, if left unserviced, would have eventually seized. Fortunately, all internal components were in excellent shape, requiring only minimal adjustment. The viewfinder cover has been replaced, providing better protection for the viewfinder lens. Every lens surface has now been thoroughly cleaned and restored to a pristine, like-new condition.
