Selling my somewhat beat-up but working Kodak Medalist II. This camera is basically an odd-looking brick with one of the best lenses you'll ever use stuck on the front. If you want a conversation starter camera that also makes wonderful images this is a good one.
The film advance, aperture, rangefinder and shutter work fine. The lens is clear. Please note that the depth of field indicator (the circle on the right side of the view finder in the above image of the top of the camera) is missing. In practical terms this isn't a huge loss, but I would expect it negatively impacts resale value to some extent. There's also general wear to the exterior. This is definitely a "user" camera, by no means mint condition.
The Medalist uses 620 film, which is the same film and backing paper as 120 rolled onto inconveniently incompatible spools. You can find expired 620 film, buy modern 120 film rerolled onto 620 spools at the Film Photography Project (and elsewhere, I am sure) or re-roll 120 onto 620 spools yourself. I will include two 620-size spools with the camera, in case you want to go the re-roll-your-own route. It's really not difficult.
Asking $140 + shipping.
