Contax g2 repair from our shop

Another project
Another Contax G2 on our bench.
The G2 has a reputation for becoming a brick after years of use, especially when critical shutter components fail and replacement parts are nowhere to be found.
Through reverse engineering and precision manufacturing, we’ve developed replacement components designed to perform the function of their original counterparts.
That allows us to tackle one of the G2’s most notorious problems: shutter failure.
This one arrived extremely dirty, likely having gone decades without proper servicing. The shutter mechanism is fouled, the lens has developed haze, and the original coatings show signs of deterioration.
This camera has seen better days. But we’re not giving up on it.
One mission: bring this Contax G2 back to life.

Wow. All that crud in the last photo is just dirt?
Lots of these type of cameras have lcd failures/bleeding. As well as others like the Nikon F3 and F4. Any hope for fixing that?

The previous tech put thing in a wrong way which didn’t fully seal causing camera sucking dirt
And yes I have a good amount of lcd to replace
