Never use force when handling this old camera. If you have the intention to use this vintage camera, do download a manual for this specific type, in your language, from the internet and read it carefully before using it, to avoid or prevent technical damage during use. There are video’s on the internet, that show you how to use or open it. 

Vintage analog cameras often have old fashion grease inside to make things work smooth, this type of grease can get thick through cold or age. By cold, especially after shipping by air, do not directly start handling it, leave it at room temperature to get warmer. The grease also might degenerate through age, this can happen at any, unpredictable moment. It will then need a service. 

selling "as is"

- we sell collectors and/or used items

- this vintage, used, analog camera, lens or accessory might need service at an unpredictable moment

- since 2016 we have been forced by Ebay Seller Protection Policy to sell all vintage and antique camera's, lenses and accessories "AS IS"

- so, in spite of our description about condition as, for example "working, working good, working perfect, etc"., we no longer can guarantee that the item received will be as good working as when listed and shipped

- we are very sorry, but Ebay forces us to state that any vintage or antique analog camera, lens or accessory might need service after receiving it

- service might be needed if the buyer wants the item to work perfect at any time in the future

- please do buy a new camera, not a collectors or used item, if you want to have it functioning as a new one or if you want guarantees as if it is new
