Twin Rig Sale...and more

[P3D allan carrano <allan.carrano@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

     The twin rig "give-away" for covering shipping (with a little extra to 
     make my trip to the post office worthwhile) is over.  Tim Smith of 
     TSMITH@xxxxxxxxxx mail address, won the rig with a reduced bid of 
     $36.30 (10% over the second place bid of $33).
     
     Now that I'm in the mood for ridding myself of items I won't be using 
     anymore, I have a couple of cameras to offer for sale that are nicer 
     than nice .
     
     The first camera is a 3.5 Realist with case for $110.  This camera was 
     my back-up camera (I'm the cautious type) to my well worn and hot shoe 
     modified 2.8 Realist . When I discovered that I couldn't get the same 
     quality results with a Steinheil wide angle adapters on 3.5 vs. 2.8 
     Realists, I found a mintish 2.8 Realist for my main camera and 
     relegated the older one to back-up status.  Hence, the offer to sell 
     the 3.5 here.
     
     This camera is the older type without the double exposure prevent 
     button, modified for flash in two ways.  The previous owner filed down 
     the hot shoe for use with a modern electronic flash.  I guess he 
     wasn't happy with that solution, because he drilled a hole in the top 
     plate and installed a pc terminal, which is where the flash wire is 
     now connected.  It works fine, too. And if you prefer the hot shoe 
     rather than the pc terminal, I don't see any reason why disconnecting 
     the terminal and attaching the wire to the hot shoe wouldn't work.  
     The camera is cosmetically very nice, with one remediable flaw.  The 
     lens cover has one clip holding it on.  The channel in the cover where 
     the other clip fits is damaged, so it is probably best to take the 
     cover off and use the camera without it.  But here's a couple of other 
     options:  If you're a repair type guy, epoxying in a fine wire for the 
     clip to bite onto could solve the problem:  or, for an additional $15, 
     I could put one of Zak's uningraved lens covers on the camera - your 
     choice.
     
     The other camera is an Iloca II for $215.  Again this is a fully 
     functional, cosmetically nice camera.  It has been repaired, cleaned 
     and adjusted within the past year.  Honestly, I haven't run a roll 
     through it for verification, but I'd be happy to give a "Dr. T 
     Warranty" for the purchaser - return for refund within 45 days if not 
     happy with it.  The reason I personally like this camera is for the 
     self-timer built into it.  My friends never appreciated those arm 
     length Realist self portraits.  But now I have one of those screw on 
     self timers for my Realist and have an Iloca to sell.
     
     If interested, contact me off list, please.
