Thanks for asking, Craig.
I've become a hermit, but not by choice. It's that high barrier of cameras that prevent me from getting out of doors or over to my laptop. But there's a way out. Sending back cameras to people who gave them to me is a good start: I've already sent Mike Elek back his Ikomat 520; George B. his Perkeo 1, and there are Mike Kovacs' Ikonta 520 and you m'lord, CE, your 6x9 Nettar about ready to be put into boxes.
Then I'll list on FS/FT forum mainly for trade for one or two items all but the essential two dozen. I'm joking about that amount, but I'll try to limit what I keep down to a handful. Or at worst, two handfuls. Got to post a list pronto.
New gals in the harem are: The Konica Auto S2 wih the seized speed band is repaired and is a beauty. Long lost Fed 2 that made two round trips from Russia finally arrived and is in the 'Perfect' condition the seller claimed. And that cheap Minolta Hi-matic 7s your recommended CE, is in tip top shape except for a hazy viewfinder. Need tip on that: can the bezel be removed from the back and the vf cleaned without taking the top cover off? Wishful thinking! That was the $9 Hi-matic 7s with original leather case. Works like a charm when the subject is visible.
Now that you see and remember how much I write in my comments, maybe you'll reconsider waking an old bear in his den, especially one whose sense of seasons is way off for hibernating.
Will post some pics soon.
