Rangefinder Beira II from 1934 with "Okula" prisma system

 This camera was found as trash with other photographic material. 

Basically cost me 5€ and I've decide to  provide a cosmetic relook and preserve this camera  a few years more!

It was the 1st time I saw it and only later found that is not very commun

Equipped with Schneider Kreuznach Xenar  5cm 2.9 sn.807788

Shutter Compur-Rapid  working from 1→500 

Rangefinder is nor working due to broken support.

Here some steps from transformation:

Gaumont Stereodrome 6x13 sn.1768

This year the Fête des brocs - 14 août 2020, Port-de-Lanne/France was cancelled and moved to Mont de Marsan due to COVD-19

For me it was the GAUMONT year. In 3 different sellers: 

→2 Books  “Les Spidos et Stereospidos Gaumont” & “Notice pour emploi  des Block- Notes, des Stereo-Block-Notes des Amplificateurs  Gaumont” 

→Parts for Gaumont stereo cartridge. 

→And  a wonderfull Gaumont Stereodrome  6x13 sn.1768 not working. 

After 4 days restoring, the mechanism became operational.
