Looking for Rapidwinder

[Davo]

Hey All,

I posted a 'want to buy' but sometimes that's the place where ads go to die.

Looking for a black classic rappy to mount on a 6.

Tom advised that there is a waitlist and a decent period of time before the batch will be ready... so I gotta go to the 2nd hand market to find a unit.

Anyone know of one floating around? Anyone got one stuffed in the back of a cupboard that needs a new home? Not worried about scratches, dings, dents and the like - if it works then we're golden!

I haven't seen one in the classifieds for a while and there's only one on eb@y (attached to an MP...no thanks).

FINGERS CROSSED!

you have till the 14th of this month (two more days) to get 30% off at KEH.com on all accessories... with free shipping.
they have a black paint leicavit for 698 dollars in LN (like new) condition. with the discount you would only pay 490 dollars for it! that's a steal i believe... though its not a rapidwinder.

Keep an eye on eBay. I found mine there not terribly long ago, and there were a couple others available from different sellers at the same time. I don't believe there are any at the moment that aren't stuck on the bottom of cameras for sale, but I know they pop up.

Thanks guys!

Asim: like you say "it's not a rapidwinder"... I've already got one on another body so it makes a lot of sense to stay with Tom's little beasts...

Chris: Yep... will keep stalking the auction site.

Why not buy one directly from Tom? I'm sure he would be happy to help- and he and his wife are such a pleasure to deal with, it's hard to say no. Check out http://rapidwinder.com

Hey Drew,

Thanks for your message.

As I said in the original post: there is a waiting list for them new from Tom.... and the expected date for delivery is sometime next year...

My first call was to him for a new rappy... and now I'm searching for a used one (actually on his advice...)...

I go in the store at least 2x/ week. They have had the rapid winder for many months.

Thanks mate!

Red Dot Cameras in the UK are listing one S/H, cheers Rob

Thanks Rob,

I've spoken to them via email: it's an option... though their postage rates are VERY high and they only deal with international customers via bank transfer... a little bit of a dissinsentive...

Hi All,

Looks like I've been able to track one down from a member here on RFF via private message.

Many many thanks to everyone who pointed me towards options.
