Hello,
I'm selling this earlier model Mamiya press camera for some Mamiya Press fan or someone who might want a small profile Graflock back or focusing helical for a project - mostly thinking parts or project.
The rangefinder seems to work and has a reasonably bright focus patch. The viewfinder it a little dirty or hazy when looking through it at bright light. The shutter of the lens works ok, not brand new but ok. The aperture lever to open and close the aperture is stiff, really stiff a the max of f3.5 but gets easier after you move it off of f3.5, mostly from sitting unused. The lens glass is ok clean. The focus helical is smooth but gets a little stiffer down at min focus distance.
The Graflex back uses Graflex Graphic type roll film holders and probably Horseman and sheet film if you have spring ground glass part.
$50 plus $20 shipping in the 48 States. If it will fit in a large Post Office flat rate box I'll send it that way, if it won't fit I'll send it ground Parcel or UPS.
Thanks
Robert

That is a good project camera for a “flat top”. (You remove the rangefinder/viewfinder.). I have one & use a 65 mm lens.
