<P> I have specialized in the PHOTO Technology field since 1968 holding an A.A.S. degree in Photographic Technology from the SUNY @ Farmingdale, L.I., NY and check my items out carefully, before listing. I also hold degrees in Earth Science B.S. & Geo-Physics M.S. & Electronics B.S., and taught electronics for 26 years, so you can be sure I check these items out. I have been known to rebuild shutters of LEAF design and work on T.L.R.& Rare Japanese folding cameras from WW2 ( medium Format) .it has too be economically feasible, I will NOT rebuild these days as many film cameras are impracticable to repair as they sell for little money on Ebay. I also have written 25 articles for CameraShopper magazine.
<P> I use Paypal as my #1 way to be paid fast, and ship fast when you pay fast. Domestic Priority mail is 1-3 Business Days from the post office under best circumstances. That’s there rules, NOT mine. I have a 1 day BUSINESS DAYS turnaround in sales in house, from the time YOU pay and I RECEIVE the money, not when you sent it. So together it could be 3 days before you receive your item at times. Please be patient and professional and trusting. Holiday periods the USA post office is very, very slow, DO NOT hold me responsible for HOLIDAYS in the USA, please; or snow storm's in the NE. of Pa. where I live! Regards, Don
