Mike, my source is Claus Prochnow, Rollei Report 1,
anyway I'm seeing that your camera seems to have a PC
socket beside the viewing lens and then your camera is
a modified Automat, it's not original, the PC socket
was one of the upgrades for the Automat, the Bayonet
for the viewing lens is also an upgrade, ¿what is your
camera serial number? ¿Could you show a photograph
where we can see the camera shutter release button and
the cable release socket?.
The first Rolleiflex camera with PC socket original
from factory was the Rolleiflex 3.5 X from 1949.-
All the best
Carlos
