My new 73 year old camera

This box camera was given to me by my Grandmother recently, thought you all may be interested. Everything appears to be in good working order, except for a spring that returns the shutter wheel to the original position. It seems to work 50% of the time, and requires a little slap on the side of the camera the other 50% of the time to get the wheel to return fully to the start position.

Coronet Every Distance 16
- 120 (medium format) roll film
- 104mm focal length
- f14 fixed aperture
- shutter speed: fixed (unknown) and bulb mode
- two fixed sights one for landscape, one for portrait
- two control rods; one activates bulb mode, the other pulls a pale green filter between the lens and shutter

Hi void, years ago I was given a bessler reo-stat for condenser type enlarger, box it was stored in was marked with coronet name and logo. Ive never made the association until I viewed your post. You have any info regarding that company?, or might I be better off just 'googling'
