I gave to charity

Well I gave a shot at giving to Goodwill, and to my surprise I won.
These cameras are in not-so-good shape ... will have to refurbish them ... days of fun.

Since you won't be playing much backyard badminton, this seems just the thing! Nice haul. Good luck!

Jackpot! The C3 brings back fond memories, including the ability to take double exposures!

A very interesting collection ...

Hmm, look like I am going to have to manufacture a replica of the Baldina advance lever ... that knob is not original ... selenium cells appear to be capputs ... focus helix' need be taken apart and re-lubed ... good thing I like broken stuff.

Super nice finds. I find those kind of cams (well all kinds) here at work in the trash. I pluck them out and sell them as parts/repair. I made over 2k last year from junked cams. I love my job.

Bonus, the Olympus Trip 35 selenium cell still works!!
