Mamiya Press Super 23 with 100mm 3.5 lens. Glass is good, shutter speeds all work, aperture moves smoothly , focus is a little firm but focuses easily. Rangefinder patch is a not bright bright but it isn't dim neither. I have no problem focusing it.
It comes with no film back but all that is in pictures --pocket tripod not included. I bought this as a backup to my backup and have very seldom used it so I decided to move it. It does need cleaned up , as the pictures attest. The front top cover plate looks as though it has been removed and reglued , not sure if the pictures show this clear.

Asking $100 plus shipping - only USA. I might have a 6x9 back to sell with it if needed.

Tempting.

I'm invested in the Graflex 2x3 system now. And I'd have to source a film back. I think I'm getting a GAS attack.
 
This is a nice fun camera. I bought one of these here, years ago. Thinned the herd a couple of years back, but I have some really nice 6x9 shots taken with it in Chile in 2015.
 
Following up here to say that the camera has worked great with the 6x9 back – lens sharpness was good and focus worked out well with the rangefinder. Time for me to find a wider lens to use with this.
