The man believed in buying bulk

I read somewhere that he had an 8 year turn around time on servicing cameras. I wonder if some of those cameras pictured above might be customer cameras that he did not get around to servicing. Otherwise, he just had a ton of rangefinder camera bodies.

Those are parts cameras. Henry was ill for some time and had time to return customer gear.

There is a vacuum coater in there. Wow.

And an enlarger with a vacuum easel. Incredible.

I had sent him 4 lenses to overhaul before his diagnosis. He fixed one of them and shipped back the other 3--he was always very conscientious about his work and these must be parts cameras that he acquired rather than customers' cameras that he didn't get repaired.

Wish I would be in California

I love shooting my Contax II but I certainly cannot fix it if something goes wrong. I hope someone with the necessary skills is paying attention.

I'm not too far but I'll be working tomorrow. There are some very aggressive pickers around here so I doubt anything will be left after today unless it is over priced.
