[Leica] About Photo Arsenal on eBay

[jshul at comcast.net (Jim Shulman)]

My favorite early 70s NYC camera store story:

At the time I was looking for a Standard (not super) 8mm sound projector, an
avis rara when new--and even more so on the ten-year-old equipment market.

After schlepping my parents along to the usual crowd of 32nd street stores,
my exasperated father asked a clerk, "What're the odds of finding a Standard
8 sound projector?"  The clerk replied, "About the same as finding a virgin
in New York City."

Who later found a Standard 8 sound projector in suburban Philadelphia--in
virgin condition.

What always cracked me up in 47th was the attitude - "whaddaya want?" Dump
camera on counter. "Vell, da ya vant it or not? Der's pipples vaiting!"
I wasn't aware of 47th when I lived in NY, but when I moved to D.C. a
(Jewish) friend of mine told me about this great place in NY he called Photo
Chews - 47th St! :-)
