FS: Complete Cambo 2x3 Camera System

For sale is a complete Super Cambo 2x3 outfit. This is the older SC-1 system. But many of the accessories are usable on the SF23 and Ultima cameras, so if you own one of these cameras, please read on. It would make a good back-up system, or for if/when you want to use roll film in a lighter camera.

While there is some normal paint loss and dulling of plated parts, as well as a few rust marks, everything works well. All locks are firm and positive. The focusing and movements are smooth.

This is what is included:
Camera body - front and rear standards with rail and tripod clamp
Standard bellows in almost unused condition - same as the current SF-62 part number
Wide angle bellows in good condition - this is the older version, much more compact than the current. Fully compressed, the plates are less than 15mm apart, and maximum extension is 135mm.
Two recessed Copal 0 lens boards - the same as the current SF-72, except for the paint
One flat Copal 0 lens board - the same as the current SF-630, except for the paint
One Cambo > Speed Graphic lens board adapter so you can mount other lenses on SG boards (I have those boards too.)
Two 2x3 backs, of which the all-black one will take Horseman roll film backs. The other has a simple sliding arrangement, has acid-etched grid lines, and will take Mamiya RB and Graflex backs.
If you use a Toyo monorail as well, I can include a Toyo > Cambo 2x3 lens board adapter. This will let you mount all your lenses on the smaller Cambo or SG boards, and use them on both cameras.

I have suitable lenses and roll film backs as well, if you are interested.

Price: 45,000 JPY, (~$400) including worldwide EMS shipping (except South America and Africa)
If you've seen current prices for Ultima 23 accessories at B&H, the wide angle bellows sells for almost as much as the complete system I'm offering.

Thanks for looking,

I'm willing to split up the system, so if you need a bellows, the rail or a lens board, let me know. The rail is the same as on the larger models, so if you need a shorter rail, here it is.
