Restoring the Icon of German Engineering....1957 Rolleicord Va TLR
I found this amazing TLR camera at a local flea market, and because of the camera's conditions, nobody wants it. I did my best to repair and restore this beautiful 1957 Rolleicord Va (Type 1) vintage analog camera from a terribly bad condition. I hope you enjoy the video and find it useful.
