Ken ,

You didn't supply an email address to respond to your offer. I would like
your winder 1.
 Any more details? maybe a pic?

Love is in the air...

Ah, the sounds of the season when we buy our wives flowers and ourselves
something special from the Zuiko Mall.  To kick off this special time I am
offering several items from my collection.  All items are prices without
postage and offered here before placing them up in Ebay as a courtisy to my
friends here.  Please contact me offlist for hammering out the
transactions.  All prices are U.S. Dollar.

First up:

OM-1MD.  Yes folks, this camera has been around before "Wheel of Fortune"
came on the air, but doesn't look any more aged than Vanna White.  This
beauty of a camera is Chrome and has just minor scratching/wear on the
bottom plate and extremely minor wear on the top plate/prism.  Clean?  Yup!
 Takes good pictures?  Yup!  Even comes with the FIX shoe.  CLA'd by John
Hermanson less than two years ago.  Only problem appears to be the take up
spindle clutch slips when using a winder in cold weather.  Comes with 1-13
(split/microprism ring) focus screen.  Has new Varta 625PX battery
installed.   Meter and Shutter were calibrated and accurate.  Price:  $175

Gossen Luna-Pro light meter.  This is the legendary "coal bin at night"
camera.  This puppy can measure light accurately down to below -4 EV (ASA
50).  Has sliding incident dome.  Leather case and good Varta 625PX
battery.  Excellent condition.  Price:  $75.

Varimagnifinder with case.  Good condition.  Price:  $75.

1-7 Focusing Screen with case/changing tools.  This screen is clear (no
matte) with center microprism spot.  For use with long telephoto lenses.
Price:  $15

1-1 Focusing Screen with case/changing tools.  This screen is matte with
center microprism spot.  Quantity of two.  Price:  $15 each.

1-13 Focusing Screen with case and changing tool minus the brush.  I had
the brush until I just opened up the case and it fell way down inside my
chair.  Worthless thing, anyway.  This is the standard split/microprism
ring screen that everything comes with.  Price:  $10.

Varta 625PX Mercury Battery in package.  Price $6.

Canon Slide Duplicator.  This is the attachment which mounts on the Canon
bellows/rail.  Excellent condition and the bellows are also good.  Price
$50.

Winder-1.  Brassing?  You wanna talk brassing?  It might be a little ugly,
but does this puppy work!  (a little ugly?)  Of all the winders I've owned
(5), this is the one that works the fastest, smoothest and quietest.  I'm
keeping a duct-taped Winder-2 for my OM-2S but will offer this prized
possession to the list.  Don't let appearances fool you, it is a good
performer.  I will even include a spare battery holder.  It was ugly when I
bought it ten years ago but it has never failed me as it faithfully
protected my OM-2S from theft.  I've taken at least 20,000 pictures with
this winder and it is as good now as it was then.  I'm only getting rid of
it because I've cobbled together an even uglier Winder-2 which has multiple
wraps of duct-tape.  Price:  $65.  (come on, that's $10 less then PVT's
prices of nice looking, but unproven ones)

Sorry, Vert, Toky and the Bin-O-Winder-Bits is not for sale just yet.
