Hi, Mark?

Sorry I can?t help with your question, but may I ask one? These replicas 
were of such recent manufacture (1980s?) that I?m wondering why they would 
need to be restored, or why it would be such a challenge as you indicate.

Or was this camera not a full replica but an ?Attrappe? or dummy for display 
only, and what you?re talking about isn?t restoration but turning one into a 
working camera? Now, that WOULD seem like a challenge!

Strangely, a Google search doesn?t quickly turn up any info on the replica.
