    The Facts:
    Very Good condition cosmetically.  There is some writing on one side that has rubbed off (see pictures).
    Excellent condition mechanically.  The camera runs great in all filming speeds.
    Excellent lens - looks very good!  No fogging, no scratches, no dirt that I saw.  There are a very few pinhole size marks that I see (light spots) but this is minor and nothing showed up on the test footage.
    Test footage filmed with 10 year old un-refrigerated Ektachrome 100D.  Very steady and not jumpy and all the test shots were hand held.
    Built in light meter has been tested, lens tested, film shot in camera.  Power zoom tested. Even self-timer tested.  Sound recording was NOT tested as only silent film was run through the camera.
    I also have some BRAND NEW FRESH Kodak Black & White Tri-X for sale at .95 each - see my other items on eBay.
    And I have some great back issues of
    Super 8 Today
    magazine - a great print magazine resource for the Super-8 shooter (see my other listings).
    Look at this footage I took with this camera in April, 2021:
    (Please note that this video was taken from a digital camera pointed at a movie
    screen projecting the super-8 film approx. 3' wide, so there is flicker.  The film used was
    10 year old Ektachrome 100d (never refrigerated) and just for fun the film was home processed the same day I shot it.
