Agfa Automatic 66

[julio1fer]

An Agfa Automatic 66 was offered in a local auction site under the title "old camera", with bad pictures. Price asked was about 19 USD. I snapped it as soon as my hands stopped trembling.

Will post in full after the camera comes back from the technician. Ugly, but lens looks cleanable and in good shape, focus moves smoothly, and a little black pneumatic tube does come to the shutter from the photocell. Did not dare to touch the shutter.

Anybody is familiar with this camera?

Its a rare camera and the price you paid is very good. If the selenium meter isn't working its not possible to get auto exposure. This is an aperture priority auto exposure camera.

An Auto 66 for $19.00 dollars. Out of the many things I could say, I will choose “Congratulations!” I will now go out and commit seppuku.

The camera is still in the technician's able hands. Unfortunately, the coil of the autoexposure mechanism is open, no continuity, and we can think of no ideas for a replacement. Everything else seems in working order.
