Mine couldn't even be made to run, and looking at the machining I couldn't figure out how it had EVER worked. It looked like they'd hogged it out of a block of pig iron with a Black & Decker. All of the visible stuff on the outside, though, looked just as nice as the later ones.

As an aside, the interface details changed between the Waltax and the Zenobia, so I was not able to mount the Waltax lens in a Zenobia shutter.... I had to put the entire Zenobie lens/shutter assembly into the Waltax, and even the shutter mounting is not identical. The cameras themselves appear to be identical except that the Waltax has a red "film wound" indicator that was dropped in the Zenobia (though the little hole in the top deck for it is still there). I guess it must not have worked very well....
