Aero Rollex

[Richard Schneider <richard.schneider@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Colleagues,

The preservation lab is in possession of three Aero Rollex 5" wide film
backs which we are intested in exchanging / selling. These film backs
take 50 foot ( perhaps longer ) lengths of film and advance electronically
in 4" sections. They were originally used for a preservation project
which has since been respecified, making the film backs unsuitable for
our goals. 

The original purchase price for these backs was approximately $10,000
US each. I don't expect to get nearly that much in return. I would entertain
all offers.

The panorama chat line may not be the best venue to advertise these
backs, but I thought I'd try anyway. If someone knows of a better outlet
for this type of equipment please let me know. 

Because the issue of money exchanging hands is so complicated in the
federal sector, we are more interested in a swap / exchange rather than
a cash transaction.

Thanks for your time,

Richard
