Here's a Vintage Beseler TOPCON Camera from the around 1959---- it was the Beseler Name "sister" of the Topcon R. It's Not Mint but an economical example for your SLR Collection---- it is partly working with a lot of issues. Please READ the following.
There are some areas of corrosion and pitting in spots... inside and out, (particularly inside the film chamber).... as well as an assortment of nicks and scuffs and scratches to the metal. ...The leather skin is peeling off in spots--- generally not good shape. Various dials and mechanical functions work--- the shutter winds and fires at different speeds, not all of them well and I don't know how accurate the rest are. The mirror return is a little intermittent--- sometimes it hangs and I have not extensively tested it all. The lens glass looks pretty good--- there are a few specs of dust in there and a small amount of fungus around the perimeter of the front element, plus and some other blemishes/nicks to the exterior. The shutter release button works on the body, but the extender portion that is part of the lens mount is stuck--- can't push it in. The aperture is clean with no oil--- has a good shape--- not sure how that mechanism fully works either. Overall it's in pretty good shape and should work with an overhaul and some TLC, but I haven't been able to test it fully--- so I can't make any guarantees on that. So consider it for parts or repair. What you see is what you'll get--- the actual item for sale is pictured--- please check them all out. Continental US Shipping will be $11.50. I will ship the next day after purchase. It will be packed well and safe. International Shipping via the ebay program. PLEASE READ THIS--- By Bidding you Agree with this: Reality check.... I am not Amazon or a professional Camera Store seller--- just a camera collector/shooter selling some Used items. I'm not here trying to rip anybody off or sneak one past you. But that said... I'm not into having things go back and forth based on opinion, or risk "part swapping" either. So I'm sorry, I can't sell item on Approval, it's being sold As Is, No Warranty, No Returns. I've been a photographer for 30+ years and I know how cameras work and what to look for. But I can't "Bench Test" every thing to factory specs and unless it's Brand New... I can't guarantee that every single aspect may be 100% Perfect... especially with a 60+ year old item! Any significant defects that I know of are either pictured or described to the best of my knowledge, but this camera Has Not Been Tested with film. I try to be detailed and truthful but I can't describe every every inch of it, so there may be a nick or blemish or a few additional specs of dust that I failed to mention... but they would hardly diminish it... unless you expect everything to be 100% Perfection. If it's junk or even "C" Grade... I won't sell it! What you see is what you'll get and I package my items well, so it arrives in the same condition as shown.
SEE MY OTHER AUCTIONS FOR MORE Interesting Items---- I'll be selling a large portion of my camera collection over the next few months, so check back and/or tell me what you're looking for. If you have questions about this or other items or combined shipping or other discounts---- please ask... Let's make a deal. Thanks
