Agfa Isolette III, older type.

Another Isolette which had its Rangefinder Dial frozen.

Had a tough job getting the Dial out but in the end, after applying some heat from a heat gun, I got it moving.

Here the color of the Cursed Agfa Green Grease had almost turned to black. Never seen that before !

The Rangefinder Module had stamped "1954" on it so guess the grease was there for 70 years !

Cleaned the threads with a dentist probe and re-lubricated with a synthetic helicoid grease.
