A few months ago, a friend of mine asked me if I would take his old camera in for a restoration. It is an interesting model, from the early days of home photography. The Kodak Duaflex was made in the late 1940s to the mid 1950s in England. This makes this camera at least 65 years old!
It had some wear on the outside and quite a few dents and bent metal pieces. In order to restore it to its best glory, I decided to disassemble it, straighten out the parts and give it a new paint job. Also, the neck strap was missing a screw... perfect opportunity for my lathe to show off what we can do!
Donate a few bucks for some coffee (or some equipment upgrades)
