Greetings,
Nice looking lllG. The camera appears to have a take up spool. From your description I take it the RF window is clear, with contrasty rangefinder patch, film spacing is OK, and is in good working condition. I would be using this rather than collecting, so my interest is mainly functional (although it appears to be in great shape). If you can confirm these things I would like to buy it. My best email is xxxxx. The email listed with Fredmiranda works but it's hard for me to get to--I got it ages ago and Fred won't allow me to change it (or at least I haven't figured it out). I haven't had any transactions on FM but many on Ebay (under Zigdirtball 100% positive) and Photrio under Dan Kapsner, also all positive. I look forward to hearing from you. Regards, Dan Kapsner

Yes, it has the spool, rangefinder patch has good contrast, both windows are clear, shutter fires well and frame spacing is good.
