Kodak 16 in. 405mm f4.5 w/ Packard Ideal Shutter on 9x9 Board (320988044628) - Winning bid:US $715.00
Again, it cost the guy about $100 bucks to include the Packard. My current Kodak 16" bought just this way with a non working Ilexpo shutter. All anybody ever saw was non-working. I think I paid $458 (there was also a question about aperture blades that the seller answered incorrectly putting off more of his buyers. It turned out to be perfect). I repaired the Ilexpo and sold it for 150 - ish so the Kodak was mine at like $300+ bucks.
This buyer can do the same and probably put $125 against his 700 making a very affordable Kodak 405 in the end.
