I just ran across this on the news feed on the internet. I do not know how many collectors will want to jump on this one. It is a bit steep, but also very rare. https://www.digitalcameraworld.com/n...000-at-auction

Maybe someone that lights cigars with $100 bills will spend it on this instead. Seems worthless to me. It's an MDa with big, ugly knobs.
Most of the cameras that went up on missions had few modifications. Many are at the Udvar Hazy museum, including an M3.

Back in the late 1970s we had some of the Skylab optical instruments surplused to us, the back-up units. Got put to good use.
