For Sale Minolta Autocords (2), Roleinars 1 &2, Autopole polarizer

I'm downsizing my MF collection, and I'm just not using these excellent TLRs enough to justify keeping them. I'll surely regret selling, but they should be used, not sitting on a shelf. Both have seen recent CLA's and should have years of life left in them.

Man it would be nice if I could sell this all as one package to one person and save the hassle of multiple shipping runs, but I understand if there needs to be a mix and match. I'll sell the accessories preferentially to a buyer of one (or both) of the cameras.

~~~~~~~

-Black Autocord $200: CLA'ed by Karl Bryan a little over a year ago. Have run maybe 10 rolls through it since. Functionally excellent but with a few cosmetic dings. Strap not included. CLA included the following:

checked film wind
checked frame counter
checked double exposure interlocks
checked shutter, appears to have been recently CLA'd, repaired bent parts in slow speed escapement $40

-Green Autocord $250: Bought this one a little over a year ago and have run maybe 5 rolls through. I don't know if I have much more to say about it, and I'll direct you to the FS thread of the previous owner. Comes with lens cap

(there was a url link here which no longer exists)

~~~~~~~

Accessories:
-Rolleinar 1 (Bay I): $75 Complete with Rolleiparkeil. Plastic case included. Ex condition
-Rolleinar 2 (Bay I): $65 Also has correct Rolleiparkeil. No case. Ex condition
-Bay I Contrast filters (various brands): $30 Green, Yellow, Red and Orange. Each have cases. Good to Ex condition. I'll also throw in a Bay I metal hood.
-Minolta Autopole polarizer: $120 Ex condition. These puppies are hard to find. This a good copy and handy to have.

~~~~~~~

Take the whole shebang for $650. One for color and one for B&W. OR one for home and the other for the office. OR...

Paypal works. I'll eat the fees but you pay actual shipping. CONUS preferred. Thanks!

PM Sent (or about to be sent!)

If you can't find a home for the filters and lens hood (ESPECIALLY the lens hood) in the U.S., I'd really like to buy them from you.

All PM's replied. Does APUG filter my FS threads so that noone in the USA sees them?

In all seriousness, thanks for all the interest, stateside or no. I'm happy to sell/ship a camera overseas (PM for caveats), but I'm inclined to wait to separate out accessories until the cameras sell. I'm afraid the shipping of a filter or hood would be more than my asking purchase price...

My apologies for the slow reply. It's perfectly understandable that you'd want to see what happens with the cameras first and not a problem at all. I just thought I'd let you know that there's someone here with an interest Many thanks for letting me know. I'll keep an eye on your listing and see what happens.

Karl Bryan serviced my Autocord about a year ago. $200.00 for a camera that he worked his magic on is a great deal. Someone really needs to buy this camera.

Autopole is sold and shipped. The Black Autocord is held pending payment.

Gone: Black Autocord, both Rolleinars and Autopole

Still available: Green Autocord, Contrast filters and hood.

Purchased Rolleinar2. Thank you !

Still have one Autocord for sale (Green one listed above). Someone buy this thing before I decide to keep it.

The Autopole arrived safe and sound at my sister's place the other day. Very nice!!! It looks new.

last call for the green autocord, or I keep it.
