Just saw this listed on GetDPI classifieds:
http://forum.getdpi.com/forum/gear-fs-wtb/37902-epson-r-d1s.html
If someone wants to buy this and send it to Epson Japan for a complete overhaul (e.g., via Dirk at JapanExposures) it should net out as a real bargain.
Of course, I have absolutely no knowledge of the seller or the camera in question.
Cheers,
Ari

reskinning it would take 30 minutes and setting the focus another 30 minutes.

That's a cheap camera! Hope somebody buys it and uses it!

OK, I actually bought this one. It's not exactly what I would call 'beater' though..
Actually, after putting on some griptac and adjusting the focus it almost looks and acts like new! Thanks, Ari, for that awesome hint!
I also include some of the first shots I took with it (and the 28/2 Ultron)...

Congratulations on a neat fix-up beanous, the CONUS requirement helps to remedy some of the envy.

Yep, it took me a full day to get it running (had to remove the top plate and adjust the base length). It's still a real bargain, though...
