Asahiflex model Ia camera

This is a very early 35mm single lens reflex film camera, issued in 1953

Camera body only, sold for parts or repair.

Problem: The film advance is jammed/doesn't work. Turning the advance knob should lower the mirror back in place* and cock the shutter. And ... it doesn't. Perhaps the shutter curtain is jammed?

Possibly repairable by someone who knows what they are doing.

*In early SLRs, the mirror flips up when you take the picture. It doesn't spring back into place automatically.

Comes with operating manual, as a PDF file on a CD-ROM

I have several other items for this camera system. Multiple purchases can reduce the shipping  cost per item.

Shipping: Please check shipping cost for your area. I don't set the postal rates!
