It's really hard to find anything wrong with this lovely Graflex -- a bit of paint wear on an edge? Small brassing on a knob? That's about it.
The focusing hood is wear-free, opens and closes smoothly, shows no wear. It feels, if not new, like very rarely used.
The shutter works smoothly at all speeds -- none of that d..e..l..a..y you get with sluggish bearings at the slower speeds and lower spring tensions. I found the speeds accurate in use, at least within the margins one expects with this grade of technology.
The body of the camera is clean and smooth, very little wear or signs of use. It honestly feels, if not new, at least like a very rarely used camera.
The handle -- ever see a handle on one of these in this condition? Absolutely like new. Really nice.
The lens -- A KODAK EKTAR!!! -- is clear and clean and its images sharp.
The 120 back is a bit more worn because it was purchased separately. Tried to find one of these lately? Good luck. This one meters film accurately and smoothly.
Here's a couple sample fotos:
$450 for the whole thing, includes shipping anywhere the US Postal Service delivers in the US. Send me a note for paypal info and you can be shooting with this in less than a week.
Thanks for looking
