SOLD! THANKS ALL!
I wrote my name in pencil underneath the last guy who serviced it 70 years ago. Both of these old Packards, I mailed the first one off this morning, both came from old junker cameras that I bought for parts values plus whatever lenses they had that interested me.
The Packards had been laying around waiting for me to get the time to open them up and give everything a good scrubbing and cleaning. Since the first one sold fast, I was encouraged to get this second one fixed up and running. It's lightning fast. Working perfectly.
This is the perfect size to glue on a 3" cardboard center core from a 2" wide shipping tape. Then you can slide it onto the front of barrel lenses instead of inside the camera on the back of a lens board. Either way works great. They provide a very repeatable 1/25th second. Plus B and T B is for bulb, and this is where it came from.
Price reflects my usual 10¢ an hour charge for my labor. Good thing I enjoy fiddling with this stuff. $55. & 6.95 for the mail man.
