Hi just picked up one of these for a fiver needs a damn good clean but shutter works ok optics seem ok, just wondered if anyone has any experience of it and the best way to clean the bellows, they seem light proof but very dirty I would say its been shut up for a long time, thanks Andrew

Toothbrush would be best, it's what I use - non-abrasive and you set the pressure yourself. Note this model is an economy camera so be real careful when dusting around and be prepared to have to fix bits!

Thanks I will be careful, once I got it open I was quite suprised everything seemed to work just needs a good clean leatherette cover is 95% good will post pics later

That glue is pre-war (second) so not too much pressure on the bellows, try to support the outside from inside and vice versa as you go.
