The before and after on that Rolleiflex I finally fixed
Picked up a beat up Rolleiflex from a flea market in Portland for $60, shutter was completely stuck and the viewfinder was hazy as hell. After 4 hours of disassembly, cleaning the blades with lighter fluid, and polishing the mirror, it fires like it just left the factory in 1958. Has anyone else seen that huge of a jump just from proper lubrication and cleaning, or is it usually something else like a broken spring?

Man, that's the kind of win that makes you feel like a wizard. I once unjammed a Kodak from the 40s with just a drop of WD-40 and it made me swear I'd never throw anything away again.
