Hi everyone, I am planning to restore a no. 2 folding brownie camera, but I'm not too sure where to start. I have no experience with camera restorations, I have been doing some research, but there seems to be very little about the camera's construction. The condition of the camera are as follows:

*Lens board is broken at the bottom where it attaches to the focusing slide.
*Shutter a little sticky but operational.
*Leatherette is worn on the corners.
*Lens needs a clean.
*Red window needs placing.
*One of the film rollers is stuck and will not turn.
*General clean of the camera body is required.

Any tips and advice will be very much appreciated. The following link shows a restored version: http://taotothetruth.blogspot.com/2011/01/i-for-instantaneous.html
