About a month ago my wife came home and put a box in front of me. She told me I needed something to do, I open the box and found a mid 1930's Rolleiflex in need of some TLC. This was a fun project and did not require to much work, only the mirror needed to be replaced. Everything else just needed a real good cleaning. Here is the finished project
Some sample shots from test roll

it's nice to see that you've left the patina, that's a nice looking camera with a lot of history. And long may it continue to record history.
