For selling this Rolleicord Va, winding/counting/focusing systems were serviced as well the shutter.

Everything works as it should and the shutter is within the margins for a Synchro-Compur nowadays.
Lens has very faint cleaning marks on the front lens only viewed in B mode using a flashlight, no impact on the photo.

250 euro shipped and Paypal'ed within European Union.
USD290 for USA, same conditions as above.

Thank you for looking,
Alex

I own a Vb, otherwise I'd jump on this. It's a great camera with a terrific lens. A little funkier, but lighter, than the Flex. Everywhere I go, folks stop me to talk about it. Takes wonderful photos.
 
I too prefer the Vb, but if I didn't already own one and I had need of a good TLR for travel and general image making, the Va would be fine. It has the adaptable format (12-16-maybe even 24-35mm) and all it's lacking that I would miss is the removable WLF - I'm at an age where the Rollei prism has become a must for fine focussing, so the prism stays on my Vb most of the time.

It looks nice and clean, and as the OP has written, it's had a service. Win-win throughout.

The price also seems eminently right for a camera of this quality.
 
I have one really abused prism but still ok, I tried on my Vb and I find very odd the shutter release, both with lever and button cable release.
I find myself the prim more comfortable in the Flexes and how the shutter is released.
Maybe I’m missing something with the Vb
