Looking for a dead F100

Postby Antsl on Thu Sep 02, 2010 5:31 pm

Hi all...
I am hoping someone might be able to help me... I am after a Nikon F100, preferably in a dead or unrepairable condition. The main requirements are that the covers are still ok and the battery holder has no visible corrosion. If anyone has one languishing in a corner somewhere that they do not want anymore it would be appreciated...
I need to do some devious things with it. :twisted:
This camera is not for parts... it is to be rebirthed... those who know me know where this is heading. :wink:
I am happy to pay a token for it along with postage.
Thanks, Ants

The camera will be gutted and then a flash will be built into it... I have done something similar to an F301 a few years ago but it only uses AAA batteries... I am wanting to build the flash again but in a package that uses AA batteries. some members in Sydney have seen my original flash at a mini meet some time ago. It is a devious device but I really want to get it working properly.

I know of a few Ford F100 pickups in the San Bernadino area that might be of use.... :lol:

I may be able to scrounge up a F80 + MB-16 for you via the dead cameras at work.....but i cant promise cause I did grab one to get my F80 fixed (lent it to someone and my rubber got stickied)

Thanks for the offer of the F80... ideally I would prefer to get the batteries into the grip though... makes for a smaller package. As an option I am looking at Nikon F90X cameras on eBay. Fingers crossed.

Plenty of ex-Police F90/F90X at my work as well atm.....I am sure there are some dead ones...maybe if I explained to my boss what you were doing we may be able to get you one.
