Well, last week, I got a little too much enthusiastic and bought 4 rangefinders 
At first, I managed to partly fix my Zorki, I now have the fast speeds working and a first roll confirmed that the exposure was spot on ... but also that I needed to recalibre the RF. Done last evening, seems to be ok.
I then won on the Bay a Petri 7s, a Yashica Minister D (need to find a battery for it), a Canonet 28 (still waiting for it) and, last but not least, a Yashica 35 GSN, all in very good shape.
The 35 GSN needed to have the light seals replaced. I also built a custom battery holder for it (inspired by Jesito). Time to try it on the field !
Oh, I also got an Olympus 35 Trip and a Fujica Compact 35, but they are not really rangefinder, so that doesn't count  |

I got two minister D and a Canonet 28 as well, so I'll have to face the battery problem for these some day
Congrats for these acquisitions, all of them are fine cameras.
