Where do you live now Dan? My son and daughter both graduated from Simon
Fraser University.
Thank you for checking your Garage Laurence! I think the Rolleicord is
going to be a fun camera!
Cheers,
Louis

I went out to the Garage, but I cant find the dead rolleicord, I thought I
could salvage a magnifier from. I picked up a Cord in Paris, in the
eighties, and still love the look of the Triotar, It had beautiful Bokeh,
when the subject was around 15 to 20 feet away. I wish you well with it.
All the best

Hi Dan, thank you for the welcome! Yes replacing the mirror was key yo
breathing new life into this old camera! So far it has been worth the
effort and I look forward to many great images.

Welcome to the group, Louis. Looks like you got a prize. It certainly520 Firby Court
cleaned up nicely, and I suspect the new mirror made a big difference.
Clearly, that Triotar is up to the job!
This group has been nearly moribund for a good while. Thanks for waking
us up!

Hello Everybody,
I just joined this list, and looking forward to discussing our mutual
interest with you all!
I recently found a Rolleicord IIB that was in a sad state, mostly
cosmetic issues. Everything important worked fine, so I set about giving it
a really good clean, fixing some minor mechanical issues and replacing the
main mirror. The attached link shows the camera now as well as some images
from the 1st roll of HP5 plus developed in Rodinal 1:50.
I was impressed with how well everything still works for a 1938 camera!
The only thing missing is the magnifying loupe that clips onto the
viewfinder housing. If anybody knows where I might be able to find one,
that would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Louis
