Hello:
Polaroid 160 and 900 I originally planned to convert to something like 4x5 sheet or 6x10 roll but lost interest (absolutely no need for me to bother with all the cameras I now have but it seemed cool at some point in time).
The lenses and shutters are removed on both. The focus 'racks', rangefinders and bellows appear to be fine. The flash wiring is not there either. This probably makes them of interest to conversions other than Instax...I gather people use the camera essentially intact for those kinds of efforts. BY appear to be fine for the RF's I mean I can look thru them and focus the split images. They don't seem to bind like small 35mm RF camera RF's can. The bellow LOOK fine, and I have never personally seen one go bad. YMMV. Base your opinion on your own success rate with old Polaroid bellows.
Changed price to free (just pay postage). If you only want one or both because the RF is useful, all fine.
I have been using Pirateship.com for third-party corporate shipping rates. I know it sounds like you'll never see the booty arrive, but delivery is thru USPS or UPS. Typically, depending on your location The prepaid shipping label is paid for by me on their website so and shipped from either local USPS or a UPS pickup point. I only mention it because the rates are usually the same or better than eBay/PayPal/ShipStation. On USPS Flat Rate Priority Mail, their is not typically much price difference. It all depends where you are. I can quickly get a quote so you can see if there is a cost difference worth bothering with (sometimes an adjacent state or a distant shipping zone benefits).
Thank you
