Looking for a Robot IIa

[wilonstott]

I am looking for a Robot IIa for my grandfather. He has a fairly healthy camera collection as it is, but he's mentioned the Robot more than once. I think he and a friend of his used to scout high school football games in the 1950's, when my uncle played, and apparently Grandad's friend had a Robot and used it for photographing plays. Anyway, he thought and still thinks that they're really cool, and I'm trying to locate one for a Christmas present. Anybody got one they want to sell? Anybody know where I can get one that's in decent working order? I'm not really sure about the price range on these things. Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks guys
