You get a Black Nikon F with Photomic Tn Black Meter, F36 Motor Drive and a standard Black Back. This is an AS IS, NO refund auction. No reserve. The high bid gets it.
The camera serial number is 6821869 so this dates from 1967. The camera includes a Nikon F36 motor drive. No. 129549. This dates from 1967. You also get a Black Photomic Tn light meter. Serial number 494283. This dates from 1968. A Nikon A screen with yellow lettering and a standard Black back (ASA 400) and an early Nikon body cap are included.
Overall cosmetics and very good for a black paint camera. No dents. There are minor marks.
The camera's shutter fires, but all the speeds from 1 to 15 sound the same. B is working. The upper speeds seem OK, but I do not have a shutter tester. The self timer and mirror lock up work. The counter works.
The meter is not working. I tried new batteries, but get no response. The prism glass looks good with minor dust.
The motor drive is in good condition. I tested it and it does work, but please read the next paragraph.
The included battery back has corrosion in the chamber and on the battery cap. I have NOT cleaned it. There are 2 springs inside the motor and 2 springs on the cap. The 2 inner springs need a serious cleaning and 1 spring on the cap needs cleaning. I can usually clean these, but I prefer to just sell this AS IS so I will NOT guarantee the battery pack will work. The end screw for the battery pack is not standard issue. The original owner wanted to use a strap on the end so he has a screw with an O ring. I think it is better than the original design.
I try my best to be accurate when listing an item like this so please ask questions if you feel the need. Regards, Darryl
