Rather than continue discussion about my "new" camera in the "What did you buy ..." thread, I'm starting this one. I posted B&W images of the camera earlier; here it is in living color:
I tested the Fujica a few times today, including one unintentional double exposure when I forgot to advance the film after a frame. Unfortunately, that little tab on the shutter actuator must have been bent back and forth a few times through the decades, because the thin metal broke off, leaving a small stub sticking out. I can still trigger the shutter, but it is a bit unwieldy. Shutter speeds all seem accurate, though. If the images from this roll turn out satisfactorily, I'll initiate some inquiries on having a CLA done and the shutter switch repaired. It would all depend on the cost of a CLA before I'd decide to proceed; too much, and I'll just use it as it is, or keep it on display.
