I thought this listing would be interesting for any CLE lovers (such as myself):
http://cgi.ebay.com/GENUINE-MINOLTA-CLE-CAMERA-SPARE-PARTS-100s-OF-ITEMS_W0QQitemZ200437289958QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Photography_OtherAccess_RL?hash=item2eaafe53e6
I hope this stuff doesn't just disappear - ideally a camera shop that repairs CLEs would take possession of it, not some collector who will sit on the parts for another 30 years.
The ad reads:

How much??? You could buy 2-3 fully functional CLEs for that money.... and use them and cannibalize each other as needed.

I don't think it makes sense for any one person to buy them but a camera repair shop, perhaps, since the amount of parts seems to be much more than you'd get from just one or two extra cameras.

Desperate but not serious
Let us hope that a camera repair shop can drop enough cash for these.
