The SRT 101 shutter seems to be working correctly at 30 and faster, at 15 and shower the curtain does not return quite all the way back as it should (see detail photo). Meter untested as I have no battery. The old battery in the XD11 had just enough left in it for me to hear the shutter work twice, so I know it's operational; that battery is now dead.

5084. Burleigh Brooks "Bee Bee" folding camera for 6.5 x 9 cm with Schneider Radionar 13.5cm (135mm) 4.5 lens in Compur shutter. Shutter seems to be working properly at all speeds. I did not extend the double extension beds out, the bellows look too brittle to take the expansion. Exterior is pretty rough, rusty metal and black pieces flaking off.

5086. Bell and Howell 16mm Filmo Automatic Cine Camera in Case w/ 1" f 3.5 Cooke lens. There is no winding key so I cannot test the function of the motor. I was unsuccessful at removing the yellow filter to get a better look at the condition of the lens, it seems stuck on there pretty well.
