Known issues worth mentioning: The leatherette is in decent shape. Everything is in very good shape, and I cannot tell if it was barely used or if it was serviced along the way to keep it maintained. I never got much information from the original owner, but one thing we can agree on is if you are the winning bidder, you will not be disappointed at all for the vintage of camera it is. The winding crank knob rivet came apart from the winding arm. It still easily winds without it, and a handy person could easily repair this. The knob is included. The only other thing is that in either the footage or frames elapsed window, the plastic window itself is missing. Other than that this machine is in very good shape. I have been torn about selling this kit for many years, whoever is the winning bidder, will enjoy this marvel of its times. It still runs smooth at all speeds under load.

 

USA/Canada shipping only. Local pickup possible for $20 US. $75 ground shipping and handling is the estimated cost, insurance is extra and recommended.

 

There is a low reserve on this item to protect the dignity of the piece, they are all special cameras but this one really belongs to a collector who will really take care of it due to its low serial number. Item is auctioned as is, you will not be disappointed. Only serious bidders please. It is my hope it will go to a collector who will actually use it and maintain it.
