Re: [Rollei] Damage to a TLR WLF on disassembly

[todd <todd_belcher >]

I have Rollei exploded views for almost all Rollei cameras from 1958 to 
1983. I have some of these diagrams for select earlier cameras. Rollei 
stopped making these exploded diagrams after 1983. Instead, they issued 
blueprints. These blueprints are quite a bit larger physically and less 
'informative' than the exploded diagrams.
