Wards RF 45 Disassembly


 The body shell is made of plastic. The top and bottom covers are metal. The whole lens assembly sits on the front side with focus helicoid on the front side of the shutter.


 The shutter is a set and release type with slow speed governor and self-timer. It is a bad idea to remove the slow speed assembly as it fell apart in many pieces. The slow-speed came out O.K.
One of the mirrors in the viewfinder was detached and one of the glass too needed glued back on.
