I have a couple of Canon AE Motor Drive FNs I'm selling cheap. Of course there's a catch! These are just the motors - you'll have to source your own batteries. Though if you have one of these motors that has failed and you already have a battery pack, then this is perfect! The 3 available battery options are the AA pack (Battery Pack FN) and two different NiCd packs (NiCd Pack FN, and Hi Power NiCd Pack FN).

There's one other caveat: both of these have a really obscure problem. On the F-1N by design, the camera will only work in Shutter Priority automatic mode (Set the lens to A and the camera chooses the aperture after you select a shutter speed) if you have a motor drive attached. Weird, eh? But when you have either of these particular motors attached, that mode *still* doesn't work! Even weirder, eh? But if you never use that mode... or you have the AE Finder for the camera (you set the aperture, it sets the shutter speed)... then you'll never even notice that problem. These motors both work great as motors!

They're in pretty good used shape - just a couple of random scratches and things here and there. One is missing the little cap for the Film Chamber power connection, which you can either ignore... or there's a guy selling those caps on ebay really cheap.

Asking $20 each complete with shipping in the US. If you're outside the US let's talk - I'll calculate the shipping to your country and give you a price.
