I just bought two Ricoh KR-10M's on ebay and paid $89.00 for 
one with a 50mm Pentax lens and $105.00 for one with a 70-
200mm Promaster, Ricoh Speedlite Flash, and case. I have yet 
to check out the synch (I have made a twin release for the 
electronic shutter socket) but everything else is near perfect 
on both. I have run film through each and they are fine.

Now I just need to find two matched lenses. I am opting for 
135mm if anyone has a source.

There are several listed on eBay now (both KR and XR so search 
on both) and they always seem to come around.

Speaking of the shutter release, I have found a great way to 
do this rather easily. It uses a system of power adpater cords 
and plugs from Radio Shack. I use this system for my RBT as 
well. If anyone is interested I can either let you know part 
numbers or I would be willing to make them for you. It does 
take a little soldering for the release button and you have 
several choices there (click open - click close for timed bulb 
shots or simple momentary switch for just a release). 
everything is modular and can be switched and expanded (in 
case you want to go from a one foot base to a twenty foot 
base). Anyway contact me at the address below.

That's all for now,
