The entire camera and lens MUST be professionally cleaned and tuned before use. I do not know the true condition of the camera, or the history of it, past what is seen in the photos
I do know that the lens moves up and down easily, all of the knobs and buttons seem to be in working order, and the button for the film real works (and scared the crap out of me when I accidentally pressed it)
There could honestly be film inside of it still
It was found on the second story of a house that had the first floor turned into a restaurant 80 years ago. No one had lived on the second floor for over 50 years and was mostly unused or used for storage. It was sadly left and forgotten inside the bottom of a hutch, with the only protection being from its leather bottom case.
Camera is being sold as is
