i love this kind of projects ! A few years back you coul really find this ebay lots everyday! i bougt myself a few boxes of untested/unwanted cameras for very cheap and still enjoy them today ! I really missed all those amazing deals, today they have become extremely rare
Yes, it is really a lot of fun -‚and I learned a lot about camera technics of the last century. But it is also very time consuming and took my about 3 month to end it finally. But if there is another lot like this, I think I will go this way again. 😁
That is a very nice collection. As a collector myself, I’m a terrible technician (I have fine motor control issues) and wouldn’t attempt some of repairs beyond light seals. I was given 2 Rollieflex T’s by my father in law and have always enjoyed taking photos. A couple of accessories you may wish to consider are: a 645 mask that fits in the back film plane and accompanying mask for the viewfinder, a new fresnel for the view finder as original is a bit dim, closeup lenses that fit on the bayonet mount, and a color filter for B&W. I typically shoot it looking down as a strap provides excellent stabilization, but I also have a pentaprism which slides onto the top after removing the hood. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.
The fresnel is definitely something to change sooner or later. Especially the corners are basically grey. I have not yet tried filters for black and white film photography, just read about them. I think I will start experimenting with these on 35mm some day. 👋🙂
Well done. Nice find. As you say, the key hidden cost is ‘time’. Researching, procuring, CLA, etc all takes a lot of time. Nevertheless you have landed a fantastic ‘free’ set of cameras.
I wouldn’t call it a business. At least the payment is ready Bad if I would take the time, I worked on these cameras, into the equation. This was really a very rare bunch of cameras, I don’t see regularly. Normally I just buy and sell very small amounts of cameras. More like 1-2 cameras a month max. But keep looking, maybe some day we find each other on eBay. 😁

Thanks. :D Yes, that was some kind of a project. But regarding the cameras, I still have and use... worth it. :D
This a really interesting business model! And very valuable practice as well! Great inspiration! Maybe one day I will get one from you!

@@manugeee Right... I get it! Maybe!
You did find some cool cams.....kleinanzeigen or regular ebay?
Greetings from BaWü as well.
Das gab es alles in einem Angebot auf Kleinanzeigen. Meist ist nichts gutes dabei. Das hier war mal ein Glücksgriff. 😁👍
Grüße zurück. 👋
