Subject: [Leica] FS: IIIf, Contax IIa, fine prints

This stuff is going fast, not much left:

IIIf BD s/n 532978, w/ beat-up ERC, Leica flash 
sync table, japanese accessory self-timer and 
dead Leicameter with incident and low-light 
adapters.  Body has numerous little scrapes and 
rub marks on chrome but no dents or ugly areas.  
Base plate is in similar condition plus a small 
chip of chrome is missing showing brass 
underneath.  Slow speeds appear to be working 
properly but shutter has not been tested.  Slow 
speed dial shows some brassing.  Viewfinder is 
clear, RF seems bright and clear but keep in mind 
I'm no rangefinder expert.  I've checked the RF 
against my SL and they agree at all distances.  
Slight vertical mis-alignment.  Vulcanite is in 
excellent condition with the exception of a tiny 
spot between the slow speed dial and lens mount.  
$275
  
Contax IIa black dial, Zeiss bumps on back, s.t. 
sluggish, vertical alignment off.  Shutter not 
tested but all working and slow speeds sound good 
to my ear.  Back and botton have some scrapes, 
dings and brassing; includes well-used ERC and 
Zeiss Ikophot light meter.  $275
  
I don't have much experience with any of this 
equipment so if there's anything you want me to 
check or clarify let me know.  Please respond off-
list to telyt@eartlink.net
