Yep.  I've thought of selling it.  If someone were to pick it up, I'd go 
for it.   Shipping it is feasible, in about 4 boxes and upwards of 
$600.   It has the reportedly superb 100mm f5.6 Focotar-II lens, 
stunning for 6x9cm.

I may have to face the reality of whether I'll ever print in a 
darkroom.  I bought it thinking I would, but, I haven't yet and it's 
been 10 years since I've been in a darkroom.

I'd like to get $1800 for it.  Perhaps that is wishful thinking.

Oh, I saw an SWC at the show, chrome, not T*, no finder, $1700.  No 
severe sellers regret yet, and I'm very happy that you are using it.
