This camera already has a chronic history for the shutter sticking in cold weather. Lube exacerbates that problem to normal weather. Have it professionally serviced.

You're probably right, I don't want to get it messed up. I once lubricated a Rolliecord shutter but it didn't have any electrical parts. Do the viewfinders of the gs645 change color over time? When I look through mine the viewfinder window has a slight blue tint to it.

Frank Marshman at camera wiz did mine and fixed a whole bunch of other issues with it also.
I highly recommend him. He also gets my old folder business having done a Super Isolette and Walter Weltar for me. Call him up, great to deal with.

Maybe you meant Welta Weltur? It's not spelled the right way neither in your signature nor in your comment (just FYI )

I have just bought one these cameras after looking for a portable MF and after all the comments of sharp lens , the rangefinder focusing and folding front I couldn't resist.

A couple of rolls later and the camera proves to be a good one but its clear the bellows are the original. They don't leak at present but looks like only a matter of time before they do. The bellows make a creaky sticky noise when you unfold the camera.

It would be great to sort a new set so jnoir if you are still making them I would love to get some
