Any shop specialize in low-end rangefinders?

I'm looking for a Yaschica Electro 35 rangefinder camera for my aunt. She traveled the world with one in the '70s and would surely love to be reunited.

Most of the camera shops I frequent don't trade in such cheap cameras. There are plenty on eBay, but every camera I've bought that way has broken within a month or two. I'd be willing to pay a little more for a good one.

Any reputable shops that specialize in these affordable Japanese rangefinders?

Edit: Nevermind. Didn't see that it is listed "As-Is"

KEH typically has good stuff for sale

Get her a Leica she will be much happier you cheap skate

THIS shop has some good, collectible/user grade rangefinders and classics on an occasional basis: Used Leica, Hasselblad,Nikon, Mamiya and cameras and lenses in top quality y from Japan- Gin-en-Camera Tokyo

Mostly, it is higher end stuff, but occasionally really NICE, clean, collector-grade rfdrs pop up. www.cameraquest.com might be a place to look. He has a daily mailing list of rfdr users...might be worth it to get on the list, make some connections. Otherwise, look to the web.

There are some eBay sellers that offer refurbished cameras including Electros for around $100

I was going to suggest KEH too, or try Adorama or B&H used listings. Or as Derrel said Cameraquest is good...

Maybe try Pacific Rim Camera. Or Pittsburgh Camera Exchange, or Columbus Camera Group.
