Yup, major equipment shake-up going on here. I've got a big purchase in mind and I need to clear some space / funds!
Bergheil green body with Heliar lens plus a second Bergheil black body with no lens. Both bodies work. I was shooting with the black body and storing the green one as a backup since it is prettier.
Heliar 13.5cm lens. Coverage extends to 4x5 (not sure how much wiggle room). Shutter works great on all speeds and sounds correct and consistent to me, aperture movement a little stiff but works fine.
3x Voigtlander plate holders with film sleeve inserts.
2x spare backs (not shown: mismatched but fit; consider them bonus material. I think one is missing the ground glass, and the other is for a different brand of plate camera (same fitting)).
1x pack film holder (which has no film use, but is great for making adapters to fit other things, for example a digital SLR - I dremelled a hole in one of these and affixed a cheap ebay extension tube and then was able to shoot through the Voigtlander lens with my DSLR... kind of amusing walking around with a 1920's plate camera dangling off the front of my digital camera...).
1 box of Ekfe PL100 9x12 film, 50 sheet box with approx. 40 sheets remaining. Freezer kept.
$300 for the lot.
Please note that I will be listing a JOBO tank with 9x12 film capabilities shortly.
The shutter was CLA'd by the seller (cupog on ebay) when I bought this a couple of years ago. And while the shutter exterior looks a bit grungy it runs like a charm. The glass is basically flawless as far as I can see.
I do not have the original green back. This is from the black one:
Black body (missing wire frame finder on front):
