Offering up my trusty C1, it's the green magnesium version. Just weighed in on the scale at work. Needle was just a hair under 14lbs.
It's got a little paint loss here and there. Mechanically it's in good shape - these things are tough.
There are 3 issues.
1. There is a spot on the ground glass visable in the picture of the back with bellows extended. This was a water drop that hit the inside of the gg before I put it in.
2. The plastic part of the knob that connects the bed to the tripod block is broken. Mind you, it's just the plastic part - the actual knob is made of brass and is just fine. you could easily replace it - I just used it as is. Never had a problem screwing it together without the star shaped plastic (it looked like the 4 pointed knob used to secure the extension bed.)
3. The bellows looks good but had pinholes in some corners. I took gaffers tape and applied pieces to every corner (yes, that took a while =). I've used it that way in sunlight without issue. However, I always tried to remember to wrap my dark cloth around it which is probably good practice anyway.
This comes with the rolling Phoenix Pack also pictured.
I also have a black, aluminum, 4x5 back I will post separately but would certainly be willing to deal together if you are interested. I haven't taken pics yet or I would have posted it now.
I'm asking $350 plus UPS shipping to the CONUS (I'm guessing $20 to $30). I prefer USPS Money orders or Cashiers checks. A personal check is fine if you don't mind me waiting for it to clear.
I would also be open to trading for a RB 50mm C lens or a Fuji 125mm f5.6 View Camera lens.
Please contact me with any questions.
