Looks good. Can you get us some results soon? I've seen a lot of these sell on eBay at modest prices and I've always wondered what they are capable of.

Very impressive -- sort of disproves the notion that a 4 element Tessar is superior on a TLR. I've heard and seen some other good results from others using Wardflex. I've owned two, but sold them both before using them (one was a parts camera). Now I regret it! Maybe I can track one down on eBay.

I have no idea who Mr. Maddox in NC is so I could hardly have disregarded him! I can say though that the non-specialized tech I use locally knows all about Leica film-to-flange distances. In fact he CLA'ed a similar Leica A for me recently and it worked perfectly (price $75). I found it in a thrift shop for $20.
BTW Dag actually has parts for the Leica A - I bought a replacement lens for the finder from him and the price was reasonable. He even had at that time (and may still have) some NEW Leica A parts -- pretty incredible, but true.

I've used DAG with excellent results on similar cameras (expect to pay $180 or so). Most other experienced techs can handle this repair however. This is a simple camera and it's not rocket science.
