The camera is mechanically functional; The shutter fires at all speeds and sound good to the ear. Shutter trigger mechanism is working as intended. Winding mechanism is working as intended, please note that a coin has been mounted on top of the winding knob. Frame counter is working.All buttons, levers and knobs work as intended.
