So... you take all the guts out of the camera? And it's essentially just a safe box to run wires through?
Also, war reparations are WEIRD. "Here's a table. Sorry about all the killing and blowing stuff up." Not that I have a better idea, but still... weird.
Thanks for sharing! This is quite 'creative'. 😉

Thank you for the burn @carrieallen!

Those old Brownie cameras are essentially empty boxes to begin with, so yes, it becomes just safe box with the wires through it. I have about half a dozen other non-Brownie cameras I want to do something with, too.

And.. yeah. Reparations. We had a close family friend who was a Major in WWII and ultimately retired a Colonel. He was in his 80's when he gifted me that table, along with a set of drawers. According to the story he told, one of the reparation tasks that German officers had to perform was to help provide furnishings for the Allied officers in Germany. I have nothing other than his word and story, certainly no pictures or documentation, but if nothing else, it's a helluva story!
