Seller said its in working function. It was not

Got this from ebay. It looks good but my God the focus ring was so stiff my hands literally ache when turning the thing.

This was video after i have stripped this thing down, stripped all the gunk and grease that had stuck up the focus ring, cleaned the grooves on the aperture notches. Re-applied minuscule amount of professional grease i got from a kind local shop owner. Put it back together.

As a beginner i would not have wished it upon my worst enemy. Holy crap this thing is so tough to put back together

Got this bad boy from ebay. Can't wait for the weather to clear to take it out for a spin

Got the Helios 44-3 as new. So excited it came in such a condition. Will go out for some nice photos when the weather gets better
