I just bought a Argus C3 aka The Brick?
All parts seem to move well except for the range finder. Its a bit tough to maneuver. But the camera is in desperate need of a clean up job in and out (Dust). As I am just starting off studying photography and I am not a C3 expert, does anyone know of a professional where I could take the camera to have it disassembled, cleaned and diagnosed for problems? Thank you!
The Argus C3 almost always has rangefinder problems.
It is not hard to clean. It certainly isn’t worth taking it to a camera repairman. It’s not worth even close to the repair bill you will get.
