I don't need or want any of what there is, but someone might. If you go to municibid.com and look at the Pennsylvania listings, there are a bunch of cameras around the 3rd or 4th page in. There may be a search function, too, but I didn't look. If you aren't familiar with municibid, it's a site where schools and towns can auction off unwanted items. There's all sorts of random stuff (I'm truly regretting telling my husband about it).
Anyway, the Schuylkill School District seems to be getting rid of a bunch of photography stuff - including some paper and film. It looked like mostly Pentax K-1000s and Minolta X-370s. Most of the time, stuff on the site needs to be picked up, not shipped.

So what? Everyone can do as he wants. And anyone of us can try to "save" as many camera and stuff as possible. I did my share on this.

Yeah, I saw that one and noticed what you did. Judging from some of the stuff my husband has bought, not that many people watch the site, though. The lack of shipping might be a factor, too.

We have a traffic light in the garage now, in case the driveway gets too busy. (in case anyone was wondering what things he was finding)

At least we also now know what a Kalart Range Finder looks like

Well, it is to be seen in the last picture, about the existance of that lens we only can do assumptions. But the interesting thing, whicg raised a comment here, is the bulb mounted at the flash.

This thread will likely draw some interest from those close by as the way it is listed may not even pop up on most searches. Lens included or not, depending on price point it might be a great bargain.

Ha!! I knew it! It had to be automobile related.

There was a darkroom safelight posted on the site. And some walk / don't walk signals.

Well, it actually started because the local borough was selling (well, trying to sell) a building that used to have a swimming pool. I made the mistake of sending him the link to the building's listing and he started looking at all the other "goodies." Like the slate-topped lab tables (there are 3 in the garage, a few at a neighbor's, and I think some went to West Overton), the HUGE copier with a stand, a conference table, 50 stackable chairs, and other stuff he still hasn't picked up. He just bought a different building in town as an office, so some stuff will go there. I might need to disrupt his login for the site :/

Aha, so traffic lights + walk/don't walk sign, that will do it for my darkroom nicely, thanks

I'm glad I stopped by photrio this evening after a long day of working and read that.
Made my day.

A picture of the garage could be used for one of those "find these 20 objects."
