Staff Notes
The plane of focus is misaligned, so what is in focus in the viewfinder will not be in focus in the lenses. The front plate was likely dropped at some point. It wobbles when the focus is adjusted.
The viewing lens does not reach infinity at all, and the taking lens hits infinity between 10-20m on the focus scale. The focusing screen & loupe are dirty and scratched. There's major desilvering on the sports finder.
There's major coating damage on the viewing lens and moderate haze inside. The taking lens has moderate coating damage, separation, and haze inside as well as a small crack/chip in the front element.
The shutter mechanism is dry and inaccurate. The speeds are too slow, resulting in minor overexposure. The film advance is a bit stiff. The frame counter is squeaky and dry, but works. It's really, really worn but is a nice collectible/shelf camera!
