Ferrania Lince 2, Italian 35mm viewfinder camera. Produced c.1961.
April 2024, local thrift shop find and cheap :-)
Now I understand why that camera was still in that thrift shop !
The Tripod Screw would not budge at all so it could not be removed out of its case !!
I finely managed to remove the Tripod Screw but alas not without damaging it :-(
The camera is at least now out of its case and there is some serious oxidation visible on (and in) its tripod socket.

This Screw (see red arrow), close to the Winder Key, has a slightly broader head and is slightly longer then the other 2.
I don't know if this was a factory standard or that it was a replacement screw installed during a camera service.

Winder Knob removed and lying upside-down.
The Reset Film Transport Lock Finger (see red arrow) was blocked and this would have caused one of the major problems in this camera.
