Folding camera restoration - Agfa Billy

The exciting and strangely satisfying adventures of old camera restoration.
Help to preserve our technology heritage before it completely disappears.
This is probably as important as preserving building heritage, old languages and archeological artefacts in museums. In a couple of generations people may not know how the clever gadgets of the 20th century ever worked.
On the other hand these gadgets can continue to work long after the digital replacements have stopped working with zero possibility of repair.
If you are interested in preserving the technological heritage of the last 100 years or so, please consider donating to the TechHeritage channel. No, not money. We do not need your money. By donation, we mean forgotten technology that is collecting dust in your old desk in the basement. It may be an old camera, an early mobile phone or even an early transistor radio. It probably won't work. But that is fine. Please mention in your comments below. We will contact you and organize shipment. We will then produce a video on that item in your name and thank you.
In addition to cameras, we also collect and produce videos on old mobile (cell) Phones and Radios.
Hopefully we will hear from you soon.
My alias name is Tech. My Surname is Heritage. You can call me Tech or Mr Heritage.

Thanks for this video! I have exactly the same camera with the same problem as yours. This will help me make it usable again :-)

I am thrilled to hear that this video has been useful. Can you please post the results of your repair work and let us all know if you managed to restore the camera to full functionality.
