If it's an original model 67, rather than a 6x7, that's a very good thing. That camera has improved shutter cocking. If it's a 6x7, make sure it has mirror lockup. A mirror lockup version has a switch on the housing next to the lens mount. You'll want that for tripod work, as that mirror is a heavy mother.
