    I should mention both of those prints are from the same negative, I just wanted to see how much detail I could still get in a 5x7 with my enlarger fully extended! There’s an insane amount of detail in those 6x9 negatives.

    Finally put some film through the camera and (aside from the shutter triggering mechanism that needs a bit more attention), everything seems to be in pretty good shape! Thank you all for the help!

    Lens glass needs a little love, but the shutter speeds seem fairly accurate (I'm not 100% confident with the shutter cocking mechanism atm, it seems like it will need some attention soon). I'll definitely be taking some pictures with it this week (after I learn how to respool onto the 620 rolls), though the only medium format negative carriers I have for my enlarger are 6x6 and 6x7!

    The answer seems to have been a spot of solvent and a strap wrench for mechanical advantage! So the lens extends (and I cleaned all the gunk off), but it doesn’t seem to be coupled to the range-finder/distance gauge. But the shutter works, which is a plus!

    It steadfastly refuses to budge, but I haven't tried anything beyond gentle heat and elbow grease yet.

    No dice yet, but thank you for the advice!

    I recently purchased a Kodak Medalist II which seems to be in decent shape, aside from the fact that the focusing collar is stuck fast (and perhaps a minor issue with the self-timer). My understanding of the camera is that I can't really check the shutter speeds without being able to extend the lens, and I haven't had a chance to take a whack at disassembling it for a bit of cleaning and poking around; I figured I would leverage some of the internet's collective experience to make sure I'm not missing something obvious (or if anyone has had a similar issue and solved it). Worst case scenario, I've got a beautiful 30 dollar paperweight!
