Projectors and Cameras

[autowasherfreak]

Does anyone collect old cameras and projectors? I have a camera and projector that belonged to my mother, and not really interested it them.

The projector is made my TDC and the camera is an Argus. If anyone is interested. I can post pictures of them.

Mine are currently boxed up, but I have over twenty cameras and projectors, from the 1920s to the 1980s.

I have my Dad's Argus

Which is exactally like this one.
A expert at LensArt Cameras told me that this camera was a Gold standard. "Do not let anyone talk you out of it." "What ever they are offering you to buy it, it's worth more."

Other than that this is all I know. My dad collected cameras and guns. Most of the guns were stolen in a home robery a few years ago. The cameras are so packed away I don't even know where they are right now.

I haven't tried selling either of them yet. I guess I'm holding on to them for sentimental reasons.

At one time I thought of putting the camera on eBay, but everytime I would try I would start crying, so I put back in my dresser drawer. She had this as a teenager, and told me how it took forever for her to save up for it.

I have never used it, haven't a clue as how to use it looks complicated to me. The manual must have gotten lost in a moved.

Its Simple

The easiest of all 35mm cameras.Go to the closest camera shop in 5min you can take pics.One thing about those cameras something always comes out,it doesnt have to be as critical as some do.It takes good inside pics as well with out a flash,Use 400 speed 35mm film and open the shutter,they come out fine.They are durable,I carried one in my phone truck for 16 years. Keep it!!!!! Learn to use it!!!! Bobby
