saw two at Cash Converter JE yesterday. Chrome one $25. black one no price tag (free?)
not sure abt the condition though...

 

[pscion12]

Saw the black one. Condition not so good. Fungus basically clouds the lens. Can repair and clean it I suppose but otherwise - give it a miss. The other Yashica - the GTN has quite a dent on the front side of the lens. The fuji rangefinder looks in a better condition.

funny.. how come the extreme ends of Singapore's Cash Convertors has such exotic items one...

watchout for the gummy lightseals and rust in the film compartment. make sure the RF is working and check for corrosion in the battery compartment. you can't buy original batteries for this camera anymore, so you'll have to improvise.

but for $15, it's a bargain, even if you just use it for parts. it's even better if you make the camera work.


SniperD,

i agree, it's amazing what kind of stuff one can find at cash converters. recently got an Olympus Pen EE and a Zorki 5, both for the princely sum of $26. The oly requires new foam seals, but is otherwise working, and the zorki is a "restoration project". (i.e. basket case) :bsmilie:
