Hello John,
Thanks for the info and offer! Using your info i found quite a few listings
for Woldemar Beier on google, including one with a photo of the camera which
looks very much like mine, at least from the outside ;-)
http://home.zugang.net/petermann/beirax.htm. It will take a few days as i
don't have a digital camera, but i'll take and scan some photos of it also.
Thanks,
RickM
[Note to self: use spell check after an evening at the pub!]
