If you look at ALL the pictures........
One will show that the LENS IS MISSING.
On all these models with this kind of basic shot, the lens is clearly obvious. If you don't see it, then it's gone. Looks like Dan almost fell for it. Snicker snicker!
Also just so you know....these machines have a rubber feed roller just above the lens that works with autoloading. There are no sprockets in this design of dual 8 machine...only a film claw.
In many of these machines, long years of no use, and long period storage in nasty enviornments will cause this glue to hold the rubber to the shaft a mildew will form. It is the mildew that eats the rubber feed roller and it turns in to a soft jel like vasoline jelly. When this rubber feed roller is gone, so is the operation of the machine.
And yet in most ebay auction photos, very few if any at all show the condition of the roller, usually goo goo.
So anyways, more junkers at a high bid price.
Everything runs but nothing works.
Buyer beware!
