I have no interest in this, nor do I know the seller, but thought someone might be interested. Looks in good shape. I also don't know if the price is fair. Just passing on.
Seller is in Richmond, VA.
I think this is the one I saw at the swap meet on the way back from Fredericksburg the other week. The guy did not know how to take the lens board off, so you'd really want to look at it. He asked me for $500. I was definately interested, but he didn't like that I knew what I was talking about. It looked like their might be bubbles in the lens, but I only got a glimps at it.
Not sure it's the same one, but sure looks like it and the case was the same.
What an odd/weird listing, but sort of charming in it's screwiness.
I wonder what the lens is; looks sort of like a Turner-Reich but don't think it is. Gundlach Radar? The outfit does look nice for its completeness and condition. The tripod looks like a Crown to me, but then it looks like the head diameter must be very small. Maybe the whole tripod is smaller than I'm used to in Crown (I forget the numbers), but then kind of wimpy for 8x10. Still a Crown tripod is a handy thing to have around.
