For Sale FS: Pentax 6X7 MLU Body with Prism - User - Cheap!

[j_landecker]

Hi, I have a user Pentax 6X7 body for sale. Cosmetically it doesn't look great, but mechanically it's working fine. Might be good for someone who wants to get into the system on a budget. The salient points are:

• Cosmetically the body has a lot of brassing and paint wear - see pictures.
• Prism has dents on top but glass is clean and solid. The foam on the bottom of the prism needs to be replaced (an easy job), so the prism sits a little loosely on the body.
• Shutter speeds all sound good.
• Mirror lock-up working.
• Battery light works.
• Winder is working properly with good frame spacing and feels fairly smooth. The lever feels a little loose.
• Focusing screen is clean, no scratches.
• Mirror is clean.
• Inside is clean.

The price? US$95 with $5 of that going to APUG.
Shipping will be $16 in Canada, $27 to the USA.
Anywhere else will probably not be worth it due to the high cost of shipping from Canada...
Paypal is fine.

Thanks,

Jim

Tempting. Very tempting.
The only camera I know of that can get you cited for a noise violation.

I'll take it. How do I pay you?

It's no worse than a Hasselblad 500cm or a Mamiya RB67 for noise - I should know, I own all three systems.

And out of the three, I prefer the P67 lenses the most. This is a great deal for someone!

Great price! Better then any EvilBAY pricing!
Good luck, I wish I had the coin to spare.!
