Cases Cases Cases!

We've been able to expand the inventory of accessories in the past week as we're going to start offering full camera packages. Each package will include a near mint refurbished SX-70 camera, high quality SX-70 case, original instruction manual, and a flash bar. Pictured in the center are flawless MINT condition Coast Manufacturing Co. SX-70 cases that were purchased from an avid collector in MA (Thanks Al!). These cases were found in an old shut down photo store in their original boxes and look, even smell, brand new! Something else interesting, a very rare and very nice genuine leather Sonar Ever Ready case just came in from Germany... Danke! New camera packages will be listed in 2 weeks so keep an eye out on Etsy and Ebay!

A new SLR680 arrived the other day and cleaned up very nicely. The newer style motors are very tempermental. We've been getting a lot of later model cameras that have "kinda working" motors but after a quick reconditioning, good as new!

Istanbul Bound and The Emperor's New Clothes

Here it is 3 in the morning again. We've been rushing to get two great orders together, one of them headed to Istanbul, Turkey! How cool will that trip be?! The other was the SLR680 that I took pics of and posted earlier. I had to go back to the shop with that one... it wasn't clean enough. There were still some cracks that showed dust and the edges were a bit rough but I found that a few drags with the edge of a steel ruler brings it back to a fine corner... there's one of my tricks. :) I can finally get back to my Model 3 order that I put off for too long. Also, we're working on a new *hush hush* custom, "Red Sonja". I'll give a hint... it's red.

Here's a fantastic custom ordered Onestep Sonar package. I really like the dark brown on this model. The case cleaned up nicely and included is four packs of PX70 film and 4 NOS flashbars... I really hope it's new owner will be very pleased.

And here's the Emperor again... this time fully cleaned.
