Ever just throw stuff away?

[comp_wiz101]

You're kidding. I'll take it. I need an extra server. My gf is going to kill me.

dang, which i'd woke up earlier... my computer is still a PIII 733!

if you weren't across the pond, it'd be yours. 😉

:😛hew:: Thanks, anyway. Not easy to pass as carry-ons.

 

[Ash]

It's heavier than its worth. That's the only problem. Sorry 🙁

 

[fraley]

I have another theory: If I throw something away, I'll need it the next day. I have tested it.

Wim, that's a good one 😛

Well there's the replaceable film counter/winder knob (the 'sold seperately' piece, that I got conned out of I think) missing, so you need a Rollei that already has it, or else, my cord III is the wrong type for the version I bought.

I think it only works with flexs

I'll post an ad in the trade section in a moment

Oh, I think I understand your frustration. I don't think the counter knob was sold separately, but there are a lot of Rolleikins on the market where the counter knob was left on the camera. That's how they get separated. Rolleikin isn't much good without a counter if you ask me... unless you have a spare counter!

I know there were two different Rollekins -- one that came with a camera back, and the Rollekin II that didn't. Rolleikin will fit R'flexs and R'Cord V. I'm not sure about the earlier R'Cords.

 

[Ash]

It doesn't fit the 'cord III.

Either way I have a useless rolleikin unless i buy a rolleiflex that has that film counter installed... or someone has that kinda rolleiflex and wants the rolleikin for it.

I felt totally cheated, but by the time I realised, it was too late.

Anyone got a Rolleiflex with the film counter?

 

[BrianShaw]

Okay, well... sorry. I haven't bought a Rolleikin yet because I figure that will likely happen to me too. It seems like every one I see at the auction site looks like a part is missing. Mostly it's the counter!

For the older Rolleicords I thought this [http://cgi.ebay.com/ Item number: 280013302871] is the Rolleikin to use. I think (but definitely not sure) that the counter is in the back. This is the unit in the 1930 "Rollei Practical Accessories" booklet. The III is a bit later than that, though, isn't it? Whatever you end up with, good luck with your photography. 🙂

p.s. The auction item is mentioned just for description, not as a suggestion to buy -- the back is described as bent and cracked.)

 

[Ash]

I've noted various backs for sale, but the piece to hold the 35mm can in place is too short to fit properly in the base of a 'cord, so I'm giving up.

I decided it's not worth wasting a Rollei medium format on 35mm anyways!

2 original copies of the Canon VT manual are still available for the cost of postage.

Assume ok to the UK? If so, I'll stake a claim. Will P.M.

Many thanks

(I'll forward one onto Kim, if it's any use to him .....)

The Canon VT manuals have been claimed. Anyone want the old flash unit? I have used another copy of this flash unit attached to a camera- looked kinda cool perched on a bookshelf.

Thanks to the folks that have adopted this old stuff- I have too much camera clutter, but hate to throw the stuff out if it is usable.

Kievs. Lots and lots of Kievs. A Fed, too. I've an enlarger given to me by a friend that thought I'd like it- he found it on a treelawn. B&W only, no film holders, there IS a lens, but just about worthless to me, considering that I can buy an entire darkroom for a couple hundred dollars...
It's goin'.
Um... I've thrown away a VW engine before. Ran, too, though not well.
Threw away an RS/6000 or two (520's/530's). It was funny. I threw away a ton (quite literally) of computer crap out. Valuable/sellable stuff there was, but nobody took it. They took the broken fixed disks, they took the broken cables, broken printers (the late-90's CHEAP ones with the expensive cartridges) but not the RS/6000's (with ram!) or the PS/2's (with CPU boards!)

Ah well.

🙂

This discussion reminded me - pics of some (free) photo gear I am trying to get rid of can be seen here. None of it is RF, just old, mostly useless (to me) stuff.

Obviously I did not know about your gear. I'd have been ecstatic to give an RS/6000 (especially one with a decent amount of RAM!) a good home. For future reference, are you aware of the Sun Rescue list? Originally it was Sun only but over the past few years it's become "if it can run _any_ variation of Unix & we can keep it out of the trash bin we're happy"... 🙂

I threw a Zenit-E slr in the bin a long time ago. It wasn't broken, worked fine, but when I picked up a Nikon F601, I knew I'd never ever use the Zenit again..

 

[Kim Coxon]

If I manage to find the time, 🙁 , I will put a copy on the website for all. Thanks.
