There was a dealer with a number of cameras, lens, etc at the flea market today. I ended up buying the below items.

Alden 74 film loader $2
Bogen 3021 tripod without head $10
2x3 speed graphic with 101mm Ektar and roll back $20
original 50mm hood for my Retina IIIc $1
black paint SRT-102 with 58mm f/1.4 $35

Good grief! That's nearly a theft! Good work in grabbing all of it.

I've gotten two Ricoh 500's recently: one with a jammed helicoid, one with a jammed shutter. Soon I hope to have one fully working one and one with two big problems. (The first one's helicoid is jammed at the hyperfocal distance for f22, so I've used it as a 7 ft to infinity "focus-free" shooter and I like the results.)

Other recent yard-sale treasures: two Arguses: a Type A and a C-four. (I know I have a C-3 brick or two around somewhere, so I passed on that one, even at $5. My shelves can only take so much weight.) Then there's that Instamatic 814...

Colyn, that hood should come in handy.

The only photo steal I've ever had was a pretty new Beseler 23C with a lens for $25 at a garage sale down the road. I just wish that people around here were more into (selling) cameras.

Nothing quite as exciting, but I picked up an Akira TC-002 for $5 in a thrift store the other day. It's awful, but fun. Have a look .

I recently got a Vivitar slide projector at my favorite thrift store for $16.00. Not bad. Accepts rotary trays of which I have a couple of million, auto focuses, remote control. Nice. Now maybe I can cull through to see which if any of my sllides sufficiently survived the fire to be viewable. I might even take some more now that I can look at them with a projector.

Not as good as your find, but it made me happy. I had picked one off epray a few years back that wouldn't hold focus. I just sort of gave up trying in disgust.

I went back today to see if he had any new items but he didn't.

He still has several cameras/lens and flash units but nothing more that I was interested in.

Easy..

I bagged everything except the 2x3 and hung them from the pod which I carried on my shoulder and hand carried the 2x3.

My shoulder is a bit sore today though..

I picked up a mint Ricoh GR1v at the flea market today for $200 Australian Dollar...just couldn' t resist what a bargin

my only problem is trying to convince the wife that the camera is not new and has been in my collection for years 🙁

We have several flea markets here in the DFW area. My first stop is usually the Henderson St market where I make most of my deals..
