I recently overhauled 6 Autocords. There were done for a local man who had been buying them on Ebay for a while but never got around to overhauling them for resale. He and I had met a few times, I did a couple of Autocords for him, some Rolleiflexes. He decided to give me a batch of Autocords, have me overhaul them. We decided that rather than both of us put them up for sale in different places and risk selling the same camera twice or not selling as we tried to get our communication down, that he would simply handle the sales.

So, for sale, overhauled Minolta Autocords. Focus helicals regreased, shutter cleaned and lubed, shutter and aperture levers degreased and smooth. Focus screens cleaned, new mirrors, wind system checked over and overhauled as needed. I think that he is putting new skins on all of them?

I stand behind the cameras, and any problems or questions about the meachanics I will handle. CJ is a straight ahead, honest guy who enjoys buying and selling cameras and has been doing this for some time.

If you are looking for an Autocord that is clean and working and can be used from day one, drop me a note and I will put in touch with the man selling them.
 
I have one of Dan's redone Autocords. He does GOOD work. Buy with confidence.
 
Do you have more info, or pictures, of the cameras? I’m definitely interested in getting one.
 
I think the communication is supposed to be between the potential buyer and the original owner of the cameras. Dan will provide contact info if you contact him first. Read OP again.

He's the one advertising. I am not jumping through hoops to buy something. Sorry, no. He needs to tell us the prices. Full stop.

Prices for what? Dan introduced me to CJ, he has many different cameras and he's still working on replacing their skins. It is more efficient to do this via an email vs posting unfinished work here. Sending an email is "jumping through hoops" for you? I just received a mint-looking and completely broken Mamiya 645 Pro from Japan. The seller is nice and he already provided me with a shipping label and a full refund. Yet I have to drive to a nearest Fedex and then start my search all over again. THAT, my friend, is "jumping through hoops".

You're not real bright, are you? What do think I'm asking about? THE CAMERAS! How much are THE CAMERAS? Get it?

HI, as far as classifieds go, there are no rules that people need to list prices. Often these things are discussed offline. It's up to the seller whether they want to list prices or not. Thanks
 
I don't see a problem with the owner of these cameras telling Dan what he wants for them so he can post prices and then anyone interested in making a reasonable offer can get in touch with him. If I were to guess they are probably in the range of $400.
