Ansco Super Regent / Agfa Super Solinette i've got from Ebay had focus wheel glued by dried green grease. Shutter had to be removed. After cleaning re-inserted and finally RF adjusted. Now with perfect lenses this is pretty cool and useful sample.

Beautiful! I have two Super Solinettes and I love them. My better one (with a Solagon) was bought on this forum and is great, apart from the self timer which still needs fixing. |

Thank you. I complement the flash it was primarily from some other camera.
I cleaned grease with ISOPROPANOL.
