Found this Petri today at a swap meet for $20 in beautiful condition. I always thought these
were interesting cameras and wanted to find one. Everything seems to work except the frame
counter. I will replace the light seals and give it a try.

Reply to a ten year old post!!
I picked one of these up for about the same money , not as good condition but it has cleaned up nicely. Its a well built camera and feels nice in the hands. My kids (in their 20's) were looking at some of my classic cameras and this seemed to be the one they handled most. It does have a nice balance in the hands.
I'm going to replace the seals and give it a whirl soon.

Caution with these Petri RF's -
I have three slightly diff models including this one.
They have a really big weakness in the shutter cocking linkage.
That is where the linear movement of the cocking linkage connects to the rotary movement of the cocking mechanism on the shutter.
Where these two meet is soft metal, just a brass tongue on the shutter assembly side. This wears out or gets bent easily.

mine looks ok. It winds, cocks and fires as it should. (touch wood) What you're saying here appears to affect many old cameras, shutter firing as the film is wound on.
