I just got back from town, a friend of my who works in a photo store called me today, he had a person who wanted to sell an old camera.....he told me that it was an old graphic in a case...kind of described it to me and asked me to make an offer....so I told him quickly I would give $100.00 for it, I figured I could use some parts off of it to restore another graphic I have....well he called back in about 10 minutes and said if I would go $115.00 I could have it...I figured what the heck and told him yes...
I was astonished when I went to pick it up, it was a like new Crown graphic, with fresnel screen, 135 optar, two seris 6 filter adapters, top electronic rangefinder, in 100% imaculet condition with all of the orignal manuals and shipping box from Graflex, I mean this puppy is as shiny as the day it rolled out of the factory, not a blemish on it!, rangefinder is dead on..
I almost feel like I walked back into history and dropped by graflex to pick my new camera up..
Some days are great!

And here I thought I had it good today by rummaging up a 3 foot-coil bi-pole and vivitar cable at a local camera store and splicing them together for $3 sync cable.
Lucky You. |

| All I managed was 22 enlarger bulbs for the less then 2 would have cost locally. I've no idea what I'm going to do with 22 bulbs but I'm literally set for life-) |

| If it's 8x10 and cheap maybe. If it's 5x7 and real cheap maybe. If it's smaller I've got too many now. |

| Man, I really can't beat that one! Although last Thursday I got a really nice Century (basic, no rf and with the Graftar) for $45, its not in the same league as your deal. Way to go! |
