I like this little cube...
I was able to get my hands on this Rolleiflex that was listed as for parts only... Camera body, optics and the film carrier are on really good shape but the battery pack was corroded and probably gone since 1989! Interestingly enough the pack can be disassembled on it's totality (6 screws) so removing the old cells is not that hard, after replacing the old wiring I was able to test the camera using an external battery holder hardwired to the original shell, and it looks like everythig work (with the exception of the left shutter switch!), some epoxy, battery holder terminals and 5 new NiMh cells and we are back on track! Next is punching a roll of Hp5 and see how it performs!
