Different way of selling?
Forgive the possibly silly question - but I'm in the position of " selling
my life" and I have so much old photography hardware that I don't even know what I have, but could dig into it all if people asked for specifics. So, would soliciting "What do you need or want?" work for you? (Some is truly old stuff, and possibly not particularly valuable. The things I know are worthless are being thrown away slowly each trash-day.) |

I hope you don't include your old neg files in this!
#1 Scan them. There is stock selling that can be done. #2 Sell them. I've bought old neg collections from the 30s, 40s, 50s, & 60s, just assorted stuff, & sold it on eBay. What do you mean by "old ... hardware". A 2D rear extension, perhaps? I need one. Badly. Some old SMC Tak lenses, perhaps? I wouldn't mind. @ http://www.pdml.net / , "Cotty" has made a screw mount adapter to use SM lenses on his Canon bodies. Frankenstein, he's been called. At least categorize the goodies. I'd surely find something of interest! Where do you live? Going to be home for the holidays? Collin |

ps.com... What do you mean by "old ... hardware". A 2D rear extension, perhaps? I need one. Badly. I have a rear extension but it is number-matched to a beautiful Century No 1. At least categorize the goodies. I'd surely find something of interest! Where do you live? Going to be home for the holidays? I will work up categories. It's an ugly job but I have to do it sooner than later. |

I'm looking for a bed extension rail for a B&J wood tailboard 5x7, if that's
any help. Mike S. C program run. C program crash. C programmer quit. |

Amazing how many need LF parts, and we're all real software developers
as well. C Programmer switch to Notes/Domino, escaping the clutches of M$. |

oups.com... Amazing how many need LF parts, and we're all real software developers as well. Now that you mention it, I wonder why more software developers aren't also machine-shop or woodworking enthusiasts so that they would make their own parts. A lot of the woodwork I see in home-made cameras is novice quality - but wait, maybe they are really middle-management types! And cameras made up of gluing cookie-cutter parts together are made by COBOL programmers who never see the machines that made 'em. Machine-level programmers make beautiful tiny little cameras, but it takes 'em forever and repair people can't figure out how they were made. Micro$oft programmer cameras are loud, flashy poseur models with lots of light-leaks. |

Almost.
A lot of us, at least those who started in PC in the early days (when the first computer skill was soldering rather than programming!), we are tinkerers. The other night I cleaned my Ilex shutter. Not hard, but I used the wrong light oil. Now it works fine when warm but sticks out in the cold. Time to clean it again! I also repair my own Pentax-A lenses. They're one to be patient with, but a practical design to work with. Tinkerers we all are. Woodworking and metalworking (becoming a smith of hard items rather than soft items) is a different matter. We (my observation) more often prefer abstract, principled creations and are not too often into physical creations. My 2c, Collin |

oups.com... [... snip good stuff...] We (my observation) more often prefer abstract, principled creations and are not too often into physical creations. Indeed. We can hold perfection firmly in the center of our mind, but give us a centerpunch and we drove it through our thumb. Regardless, we can appreciate the fine mechanical skills of the masters like Steve Grimes, Marty Forcher and all the others who did great camera things. |

Still awaiting more informaiton.
Anxiously. But not too much so. Any Pentax? Lighting (even old Graflex)? Email me directly. Thanks. Collin |
