ralf_j. Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 This one just made it to to my doorstep. Beautifully made, uncharacteristic of shoddy workmanship Wirgin is usually known for. Looked eerily familiar to a forgotten TLR i have somewhere and sure enough, according to McKeown this was made by Eho (Very similar to Altiflex) in 1940. Anyway, it needs a good cleaning and the shutter is working, so hopefully will take it out soon. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuck_foreman1 Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Looks pretty clean to me.. but appearances can be deceiving.. please do give it a good spit and polish.. that's a neat pedstal for cameras ..and the black and chrome is nicely contrasted.

rick_drawbridge Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Not that's something a little unusual! Nice find, and a enjoyable project in the offing. Having a working shutter is a great start! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It definitely is cosmetically clean, the Altiflex I have was pretty ratty considering it is 80 years old. Maintenance will just include the cleaning of anything glass, upon inspection with flashlight i see that the lenses have definitely gassed inside from lubricants, so as long as that is not stuck forever, then it should make for an enjoyable shooter :-). As for the pedestal, that's just my deck solar lights :-). a good support for to photograph new acquisitions when the weather hold out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
