I got this nice camera cheaply because someone had removed the four front screws. They are missing and so is the focus distance scale. The metal lens surround is thus loose. Apart from finding four replacement screws (how? where?), the camera had two problems. The focus is completely frozen and the lever will not move. The shutter button also would not press. Rather folishly I pulled up on the button and it came up about 1/2 inch and is now stuck there. Does anyone know how to regrease the focus helical and get at the shutter linkage?
This is the model with ROW Polylyt lens and Vebur shutter. Thanks, I'd like to get this nice camera working again.
