Hehe Ulrich, congrats, you were lucky that I took a nap, I don't remember what I was dreaming about, but when I woke up it was too late.

This Zorki looks like it was never used. So the serial number on the back must start with 77, right.

Yes, it looks good. I will see which serial number it has and post it here when I have received it.

The cameras arrived today. Surprise, it has NO serial number on the back, only the number 1A143 on the front. It looks good but unfortunately it is broken, one shutter strap is between the big gears. So I have to diassemble it and replace the shutter strap.

Thank you Ullrich,
I had this problem with a string between the gears too and could resolve it in some minutes, but it was on a Zorki-1 only. The Zorki was working fine after it even with that damaged string. Still a great buy. Are you an AGFA collector now?

Lenny, it lies disassembled on the table now. Some guy had disassembled it before and reinstalled some things wrong... The slow speed escapement was installed wrong, some screws are damaged. I hate it when people that don't know what to do try to repair a camera with the wrong tools Sad
But I think I can reuse the strap, it is not broken and I can reglue it to the big drum, clean all and assemble it in the right way.

And no, I am not an Agfa collector now Big smile If anybody of you wants to have these Agfas let me know, I send them just for the shipping costs. Otherwise I throw them away...
