Some years ago I picked up a complete Argus C-44 outfit at auction for
$15. It includes the camera, the 50mm Argus lens, the 35 mm Argus
(actually Steinheil) lens with hood, the 100 mm Argus (actually
Steinheil) lens with hood, the accessory viewfinder, and numerous
filters. Included are all the instructions. The only thing wrong with
it is that the rangefinder linkage is loose. I tried a roll in it using
scale focusing and and external meter and it seemed to do fine. Any
ideas where to get that loose rangefinder fixed so that it works? And
what I should pay for it? And is it worth it? Both auxilliary lenses
came with their cases. It's quite a complete C-44 set. More a working
museum piece than anything else, but I'd like it to be in working order
and not have that loose rangefinder.
