Kinda funny eb*y listing...

Madison, huh? I spent a week there one afternoon (long story involving a tuba, a bar of soap, and a barbeque grill). I think it's something in the air🙂

I'm really hoping this guy's trying to be funny. If he's serious, I think I just lost all faith in humanity...😀

Anyone want to go in for half?

Have a nice day,
Bob Clark
 
It's a joke, or a funny ad for a pair of mg-1's.
Actually both these MG-1 cameras are perfectly functional and free from major dings& scratches. There is some brassing above the lugs, but not very much at all. One has a slightly dim rangefinder (still usable) the other...

I hereby invoke my 5th amendment right to not answer that question because it may incriminate me for a crime I may or may not have committed🙂

Just kidding. Actually, I had to fix a tuba with some stuck valves and a stuck mouthpiece. The valves siezed up because it was really, really dirty and about 40F that morning. I heated up the valves and then I washed it.

Almost like the time I was in Madison (Wisconsin, this time) and I fixed my first camera (that got hit by a cab) by hitting it with a brick. The rewind knob was bent, and I had to bend it back. I still have it. I've also used that camera to fix a windshield wiper once...

And in case anyone is wondering, my old-school "codename" is MacGyver, and yes, I keep a swiss army knife, a roll of electrical tape, and a small spool of copper wire in my camera bag😀.

For my college entry essay, the question that my college asked was quite boring...I decided to take Gonzaga U's question of "if you were to take a long trip, what item would you place under your pillow to take with you" and modify it to:
"If you were stranded in the open ocean, what three items would you bring with you?"

I decided to bring a rubber chicken, a spork, and a shower cap.

I made sure to ellicit the great values of those three items as survival tools, in the most absurd possible way. No, I didn't want to get into that college, but the bastards let me in anyway. They must haver really appreciated the shower cap.


Oh, and by the way, I am a trained tuba player....yes, it's good for a lot of jokes. Being Jewish, a tuba player, and slightly portly ensures a steady stream of available joke fodder.
 
Look how many people he got talking about it. Who knows how many more views he got with people saying - "hey look at this maroon"
 
All that wasted duct tape for a meager $15.50.

Yes, I agree. I get the impression that the seller was hoping some Photography 101 student would buy it . I remember the time a student brought a new Canon camera body to class with her. She thought she could take pictures with just the body.

but is it a DIFFERENT model knife EVERYTIME you bpull it out? MacGyver's did 😀
 
Frank: Naw, Red would have used two rolls of duct tape, not two measly pieces. And MG-1s would be mounted on a K car, pointing in opposite directions so that he could prove something (who knows what) to Bernice.

I'll be comin' home straight after the meetin'
