This is the first one of these I have owned or seen. Maybe a rarity? I think it is a well thought out LF press camera. Build quality seems quite high to me, maybe more than the Graphic models. The rear curtain control has been disconnected on this. There are 2 batteries in the battery compartment, no corrosion, but they are dead. All movements are working, tilt, shift, swing, rise & fall. RF is bright with good contrast. Has settings for 90, 135 & 250 lenses. No lens, so I can't check accuracy. It comes with a trimmed down Graphic board, bored ~30mm. Cosmetically, this seems in excellent plus condition. Plain, UnGridded GG. Asking $250 plus fees, which I think is a bargain for this camera. Realistic offers considered. If interested, contact me for more info. **Sold on LFF*

I guess that price was too good! Hopefully we don't see it flipped on ebay...
