Take a look at this currently on eBay. Plenty of interest but Needs someone like Ugo to refurbish it.

Or keep it as a spares machine as I suggested earlier Terry to Phil in France. [Wink]

It all works of sorts so just needs some TLC and a wash and brush up more than anything else it would seem.

That's what you call a mess, would be good for spares but short of a Ugo makeover that one is shot.

It's running Del, so may well be salvageable.
Needs stripping down to bare frame to respray it for a start admittedly, but not necessarily beyond restoration while ever the transformer is ok and the thing actually works.

Personally for a duo model, unless I was modifying it into a conversion model, I don't think it is worth it, but to some it may be.

If it had an adjustable shutter, then that would be a different matter altogether.

It's a difficult one to evaluate without knowing the state of the mag heads, motors, captain drive mechanism etc etc.

Must be worth the going rate though just for what spares will almost certainly be salvageable.

Such a shame though to see this level of total neglect for a once fine piece of equipment.
