Thanks for all of the replies so far. Are there any issues which would make one of these cameras impossible or uneconomic to resurrect?

I asked him which Rolleiflexes and Rolleicords are the most resurrectable from his standpoint. He recommended, among the Rolleicords, the Vb Type 2. I had read that the Vb Type 2 was probably the best 'cord as a shooter these days. I bought one from ritzcam.com and Harry has it right now. I have an earlier Rolleicord (a IV). After carrying a 2.8E or 2.8F around for a while, the Rolleicord feels pretty light.

I shoot mostly black and white. From what I have read while lurking on this list and elsewhere, I am leaning toward a IV or V. What are the tradeoffs amongst these models? Should I buy one which has already had a CLA (and if so, from whom?) or buy from ebay and figure the cost of a CLA into the price?
