Some time ago you helped me identify a strange Sears 35mm lens... It was intended for this camera. As prices was too high, I took a chance on a faulty camera. The shutter and film advance did not work (from pacificrimcamera ebay).
I opened the bottom and the top housing. It was a simple camera. The shutter was not stuck itself, but partly would not move due to lack of lubrication. Also a pushrod which should activate shutter was not aligned, I have sligthly bend it, now it works. This camera has not seen use for a long time.
The red ring indicates the faulty pushrod which activates shutter.
Camera without lens
Here the lens you helped me identify mounted, Sears 35mm wide angle.
What a cool camera, a 126 system film camera with interchangeable lenses.
Now what? I have to get hold of a 126 cassette and wind on some film. It works fully manual without battery, but there are some automatic function which require a 15V strange type battery.
