Jason’s workshops notes:

No lens cap so selenium cell was tested first and the light meter was in great condition and working correctly… so assumed dark storage for many years. Lens had some haze but now cleared and cleansed. Aperture blades were stuck and red flag was sticky / intermittent. Full strip, service and clean. Also a full metal polish and new Sky Blue Leather and light seals. Another amazing camera now brought back to life.s
