Leica IIIC / 3c SHARK Skin
35mm rangefinder camera body ONLY (NO take-up spool!)
made by Ernst LEITZ Wetzlar in 1949
In decent++ cosmetic condition!
In NON-Working Order!
Shutter curtains, as shown in images, are in a clean and sound = IMMACULATE condition!
Shutter hangs, it does clock correctly on the slow speeds ONLY sometimes, but in general
it hangs on the entire range of the slow speeds. Faster speeds (main top dial) are running correctly,
so there is NO damage to the shutter mechanisms, only a need of lubrication,
which can be proven by the radiator test = when placed on a heat source to warm it up,
all speeds run correctly.
SOLD as spares / repair project = NOL returns!
Both viewfinder and rangefinder are clear and clean
with well defined and aligned rangefinder patch.
