Flea market treasure

Today i went to the annual flea market day (Koninginnedag) in the big town a few miles away from me...

I've been searching for a decent SLR for a while... and now i finally found one

15 Euros for a TTL Praktica with a Helios 44M (instead of their own lens, as the ones that the seller did offer made strange noises)...

Only thing not working correctly is the 'orange' (low) set of shutter speeds, but that is being worked on (see pictures)

Tools, parts and other stuff

Every control except the winder taken off

And the lens... with the diaphragm on manual mode. The grey thing on the bottom switches to Auto mode.
