GAUMONT SPIDO MODEL A STEREO PANORAMA 6x13CM PLATE CAMERA ZEISS LENS

€749.00

Dark slides of the back, one is broken and one doesn’t move all the way. Spirit level is dry.
At the sides it comes with what I think are a kind of quick release adapter for a tripod. Easy to remove.

Overall the camera is in very good condition. Paint is in very good condition, only shows minor rub off. Has a wooden body.

Shutter works and faster speeds are accurate. Slowest speed is approximately 1/20th of a sec. The finder is in very good and clean condition. Waist level angle mirror shows de-silvering and is cloudy, easy to replace. Never seen an angled waist level finder like this before.

Overall the camera is in very good condition. Original cover. It shows minor signs of prior use, mostly on the leather cover. See pictures. No dents, no dings, minor scratches, some small scuffs, minor paint rub off. Focus moves smooth. Setting to panoramic also is smooth. Lateral movement a bit to smooth.
The lens elements are in very good condition. Show no cleaning marks, no scratches, no fungus, no separation, some haze and no dust particles on or in between the elements. Aperture blades show some wear and are clean. Move smooth.
Camera comes with original lens caps, original ground glass and original leather case, Gaumont 6x13cm glass plate holder with 12 septae. Counter doesn’t seem to work.
Very nice conditioned piece.
