Hi,
I have some junk cameras I want to get rid of. I picked these up for nothing or next to nothing, and they are offered here for the same, plus shipping and handling. I intended to make pinholes out of them, but I'll never get around to it.
1. Kodak "The Handle" instant camera. No battery. I assume it cannot be used as originally intended due to the unavailability of batteries and film. It ain't pretty, but ain't ugly either. It's like this one: http://www.flickr.com/photos/26578946@N08/2794398542/. Pull the lens out and install a pinhole, bring a changing bag with you, and you have a pretty neat toy. No charge except for shipping and handling.
2. Keystone 60 Second Everflash. Like the one on this page: http://moominsean.blogspot.com/2009/10/polaroid-copycat-keystone-60-second.html. Ugly, but shutter actually cocks and fires on this one, and it looks like it can take Polaroid instant print packs, which means it can probably take the Fuji ones that are still made. Timer hangs up. Use as is, or convert to pinhole? I don't care. But you can have it if you want it. Plus shipping.
3. Polaroid 340 Automatic Land Camera. This is actually in nice shape, and may work as intended. The glass is nice and clean (lens and rangefinder). It cocks and fires. It has a dead battery still in the chamber, but no corrosion that I can see. (If you will not dispose of the battery properly, or simply do not want it, just let me know, and I will pull it out and take it in when I do my periodic haz mat drops.) One potential problem with this camera is that the front standard seems to have way too much play. (Think of it as "front tilt"
.) It may just be something that all of these cheap automatic pack film Polaroid cameras do, or it may need to be fixed. I don't know. But I got it for $5, so you can have it for $5 plus shipping.
4. Canon Sure Shot. 38mm f/2.8 lens. With case. In nice shape cosmetically, but battery compartment is corroded. It is light, though, and looks fixable. Takes two AA alkalines. Has a good lens. Yours for $5 plus cost of shipping.
5. Kodak Pocket Instamatic 30 camera outfit in original box. With Magicube extender and instruction booklet. All in nice shape save for some marring on the brushed trim. Takes a battery that is probably obsolete, a 4V7R31, size K, and battery compartment is lightly corroded. It does cock, advance, and fire, though. If you are a 110 shooter, you might be able to make a fun pinhole out of this. And the box is fun Like this one, except mine still has the foam in the box: http://cgi.ebay.com/VINTAGE-KODAK-POCKET-INSTAMATIC-30-CAMERA-OUTFIT-/290440927840. Asking $3 plus shipping.
Take the whole lot of the above cameras for $20 shipped.
I also have the following miscellaneous items:
6. F-R Special 16 oz. developing tank and reel in original box. Box is dirty. Neat red box with hatted silhouette figure shooting a rangefinder camera. Includes agitation rod and instructions. Tank is in great shape cosmetically, but lid is very tough to open and close. It is a hard plastic, possibly similar to Bakelite (or Bakelite itself). The caveat is that the reel has a roll of film loaded on it that I must develop first. Asking $5 plus shipping.
7. Bell and Howell Two Twenty standard 8 camera with original box and instrutions, including original warranty card and packing checklist. 10mm f/2.5 Comat lens. Wind lever and one front screw are rusty. Looks clean inside, but cannot get it to run. Looks like this: http://cgi.ebay.com/Bell-and-Howell...974?pt=US_Vintage_Cameras&hash=item3369bc402e. Asking $3 plus shipping.
8. Honeywell Strobonar 882 flash with Honeywell Pressmaster battery pack and various cables in original styrofoam (but no box). Dirty, but very cool. Two synch cables look rotted and useless. I can just throw them away via e-waste if you'd like. Mallory PF-497 510V battery is included in case. I highly doubt any of this works, but if you clean it up, it would make a great display alongside a period-correct press camera. The battery case and battery are clean, but the flash itself is filthy (though undamaged physically). This is the item I want to sell the least, so I am asking $10 plus shipping.
9. Kodak Brownie Six-20 Camera Model D, clean, in damaged original box with "get to know your camera" booklet. Bulb and instantaneous settings and a close up lens. Flash connectors. Fixed aperture. A great fun camera, but you have to re-roll 120 onto 620 spools to use it. Asking original price: $10 plus shipping. Looks like this: http://www.brownie-camera.com/72.shtml
10. Brownie Hawkeye Flash Outfit, with flash and reflector, all in trashed original box. One of the coolest looking, but least capable Brownies made. Takes 620. Only has a shutter button and bulb switch, no other controls or features aside from flash hookups. Also asking $10. Like this one: http://www.brownie-camera.com/27.shtml
11. Kodak Electric Eye Remote Flash UnitNo. 760 in original box with instructions. In nice shape over all. Battery box needs to be cleaned, but it isn't terrible. Takes 3xAAA batteries and midget and Sylv.#25/G.E.#5bulbs, so it is still quite usable if you track down bulbs. Asking $10 plus shipping.
12. Kodak 4x5 film packs. One Plus-X Pan, factory sealed, exp. Nov 1964. One Plus-X pan Professional, exp. Nov. 1975. Box is opened, but film pack is unused. Safety cover paper pull tab is torn, but all sheets are still in pack. One Tri-X Pan Professional, exp. mar. 1979, BOX ONLY. No pack or film. I really love these, and they came with my Linhof, so they are priced to NOT sell unless you really want them: $30 for the lot.
13. Canon FDn 200mm f/2.8 lens, first model, with external focusing. Minor dent in filter ring. Nick on front glass. Paint loss on barrel, but not terrible. Focusing is a bit rough. Rattle inside. No caps or case. The description sounds bad, but it works great and is sharp as a tack. My #1 telephoto for years, but through weird fortune, I now have three copies of this lens, so I am selling the proven beater in favor of the nicer looking ones. I have shot literally thousands of pictures with this lens. Asking $50 plus shipping. Your way into a great and proven long lens for cheap.
14. Sunpak 522 for internal parts only. Body only. No mounting hardware or battery insert. Hinges care solid. Flash tube, reflector, and lens look ok. It was given to me described as non-op, and I took all the good stuff (mounting brackets, battery insert, etc.) I am about to send it away with a batch of e-waste, but you can have it if you want it. You pay shipping.
15. Victor Pocket Flash with reflector for midget bulbs. Very cute, but chintzy chrome midget flash that looks like it takes a pair of AAs, and even has a pen clip. Must be at latest '50's vintage. Cannot find an example photo online. Original price was $1, but inflation is a MFer, man. Yours for $5 plus shipping.
16. FLASH KING brushed finish flash gun and reflector. Takes C cells and screw base bulbs, and has adapter for P25's and GE 5's. Has trigger button connected to standard cable release. Very cool, but I haven't used it in years, and I have plenty of Graflex and Heiland flashes. It feels like a pretty solidly built flash, and has a five and a half inch shallow-dish reflector (like a small version of the Graflex 7 inch reflector, not like the Graflex 5 inch right angle deep-dish reflector). Cannot find an example photo online. In very nice shape. Asking $20 plus shipping.
Feel free to contact me with any questions or offers.
Thanks!
