This is it. I’m not buying anymore old cameras. I saw an ad on Craigslist a week ago, and I was thinking about calling, but I wasn’t sure about it. The ad had a picture in it that showed four cameras, some lenses, microphones, and cables. Oh, so many cables.

So, this weekend, I broke down and sent an email, and long story short, I ended up with two broken cameras, three quite nice lenses, a microphone, two 8mm cassette tapes, and everything else you see in the picture. It’s a lot of cool old stuff, but I overpaid, and I’m kicking myself for it.

I made myself feel a tiny bit better, though. I saw another ad for a cue stick rack that someone was giving away, so I raced to the other end of town and snatched it up. It’s really nice and almost makes up for my previous blunder. Actually, financially speaking, it more than makes up for it. Now, I just have to finish my garage remodel so I can find someplace to put it.
