Kyle The industry must love people like you. Keep doing it, as that is probably what enabled me to find a super Bosch power drill and kit at a local garage sale for $5.00 Looks as if it had only been used to drill 6 holes! Top of the line rechargeable, with spare battery etc. The only Leica that I found at any garage sale, was a IIIc with a Summitar for $25. Loads of Argus C3s.
