Re: The classy Contessa

Also the Balda Baldinette. I have an (currently non-working, although I suppose I ought to try to do something about that) otherwise nice-looking copy that I picked up at an antique mall in Denton, Texas for $35 (?) some years ago.

Re: Keeping track of parts

Going to leave that one to Alex. The last time I took apart a camera, I stalled out when the (reassembled) shutter didn't work quite right in the slow speeds and never got the silly thing back together! That said, I'd guess a cookie sheet would be fine, size-wise, but you should definitely take lots...

Re: Camera Porn Friday

Yeah, you can do it with the Tetenal kit (or equivalent, there's another one out there that may also be made by Tetenal, check B&H and Freestyle), which I've done. Not difficult.

Re: Minolta Semi in the harbor.
