Rolleiflex found in bad condition - worth restoring?

[Rob]

Hi All,

I am new on the forum and hope this is the correct spot to post.

I have a few Rolleiflexs, but this is the oldest and is in bad condition - found in a hen house if I remember!

Is it worth restoring, and if so who do I talk to?

I live in South Africa but will be travelling to the US this year.

Help please!!!!!

Your Rolleiflex is a really old one.

Without modifications it will just accept 620 film, not the current 120 rolls.

So, clean it, straighten the finder a bit (carefully!), put it where every visitor of your home will notice your gem
