Same camera as the Topcon PR-II, which might help in finding service info. DeJur-Amsco was the US importer for this model.

According to Antonetto's book (Topcon Story), it's got an exotic picture taking sequence:

1. Iris stops down

2. Shutter closes

3. Mirror rises

4. Shutter operates for exposure

5. Mirror falls

Then when you wind the shutter is re-cocked.

Leaf shutter Topcons are feared by many, repair-wise.
