What it is
{"overview":"The Berning Robot Star 25 is a spring-wound 35mm camera from Otto Berning & Co. of Düsseldorf, part of the long-running Robot Star line that exposed square-format frames on 35mm film. Inspect the shutter blades for oil, the viewfinder for haze, and the body for dents around the baseplate where the winding key sits.

Questions
What most affects the value of a Robot Star 25?
Condition of the spring motor and shutter is the biggest factor; a camera that winds and fires correctly will fetch a noticeable premium over one sold as spares or repair.
