A friend gave me this rusty, wet, grimy little beauty last night- a vintage Kodak Duaflex camera!
This camera was made from 1947-1959 in The States. It has a focusable lens, 3 aperture settings, and takes 620 film.
I opened the camera in total darkness to see if there was any film inside, but their wasn't.....(wouldn't it be cool to find a roll in there?)
Boy howdy, that's rusty! The shutter is stuck, and the film advance knob is, too...
This is the viewfinder- full of rust, too. I'll have to take the whole camera apart to clean it out.
I cleaned up the accessible surfaces with my homemade cleaner, and am soaking the screws and nooks and crannies in oil, in hopes to ease everything loose for a complete cleaning, and then see if it will still work!
