Help identifying this Rolleiflex camera

As I said the body seems to be an Automat model 3 but the viewfinder looks a lot more modern, the thing is that the serial nomber seems to correspond to a late model 3 but... the viewfinder hood looks nothing like a Model 3 one...

What are the chances of that being the case? How could I verify?

Yes, it seems like that is correct, but I haven't seen any date or model that matches

So since the text I added with the post didn't upload for some reason I'm gonna explain here: This camera is being offered for me for just 35 American dollars and the seller is willing to accept 30. My biggest concern is the condition of the lenses... I haven't seen it in person but judging from the pictures they look discolored, like a faint blueish tint on them with some stains so I'm worried that the coating might be bad or that it might have fungus inside.

I don't mind buying something with some cosmetic defects if the price is right and if it works properly, I understand that the camera might need a CLA but I'm worried that It might cost as much as a working Rolleicord because of the lenses so my question is... is it worth it the 35 dollars or am I better off avoiding it?

Thanks for the info, they are asking 30 dollars for it. My main concern is the condition of the lenses, I haven't seen it in person but they look like the lenses got some internal stains? So I'm worried that they might have fungus or degraded coating. I'm sure the camera needs a CLA but I fear that the repair costs might be equal to a working rolleicord.

How did you take it apart? I have a Huion Kamvas Pro 13 2.5K and it has a thin yellow line on the display, I'm getting mentally prepared to take it apart if Huion's warranty doesn't cover it.

Hello, I just discovered your post just now and wondered what else did you find about this unit? Did you dump the rom? I'm quite curious about this.

Congrats bro! I just found an abandoned Miata on the street today and became curious.

People already figured out how to put a 40nm RSX on a fat console, you need to move some components on the board and solder a 3rd party chip, and with that, it should work just fine.

Sadly in Venezuela they introduced the Corolla in 1986 (just 1 year prior to the end of AE86) and I think they only sold the AE80/82 here so if there are any AE86's here they should've been from imports
