I had to split this post into two parts due to the amount of pictures!
I've been accumulating cameras over the last couple years and, since I don't do that much shooting, I just can't use all of them on a regular basis so, it's time to part with a few in hopes that someone else will put them to good use.
There are no shelf queens here, except for, maybe, the FM.
I have replaced the seals using Jon Goodman's Interslice seal kits on all but one camera. All have good batteries in them.
They all seem to work just fine, with minor exceptions as noted below and all of them gave me properly exposed film
The following were all purchased from local photo dealers.
- F3, #147xx, with red dot E screen, eyecup, body cap.
The manual mechanical shutter release is bound up. Not an issue as long as you carry spare batteries. $85
- F3HP, #174xx, with red dot K screen, rubber eyepiece and, body cap.
This one, IMO, appears to be a "low mileage" model despite some of the wear on the outside. The lack of wear marks on the pressure plate tells me that it hasn't had a lot of film run through it. $165
- FM, #2xx. Looks like it just came out of the box but....it does have a cosmetic oddity, there is no black paint in the letter "i" of the Nikon logo on the front nameplate.
I have chosen to sell this in it's original condition and, as such, the foam seals ought to be replaced.
Even though I have successfully replaced seals on numerous cameras, I just didn't want to risk putting a mark on this camera.
The new owner can make their own decision whether to do it themselves or pay a tech to do it. $80
Paypal or money order. Your choice of shipping, at extra cost.
If you choose to pay with a money order, the item(s) will ship after I receive it and it clears.
Continental US only, please.
