Older than me

This Rolleichord V twin lens reflex was made between 1954 and 1957.  MrsPuke asked me to have a look at it as her charity shop were throwing it out.  

It's a very nice bit of German engineering.  There are a couple of issues with it. The self timer isn't working, but more importantly the shutter is sometime sticking on slower speeds.  But from 1/30th and faster it seems OK.  So I thought it would be a fun project to put some film through it and see how it goes. 
I managed to get the viewfinder off to clean the mirror making a huge improvement to the displayed image on the focussing screen.
