Following a request for a picture I've attached this rather inartistic ebay style shot.

 

The marks on the motor I believe come from the first owner using a smaller airline flight case, which knocked the motor casing when he was pulling the camera in and out of the case. They're only cosmetic.

 

I forgot to mention that the normal short viewfinder has a heater.

I'm not sure that worked. BTW I think the jpeg compression is adding what looks like wear to the front RH edge of the camera, this isn't the case.
