Re: Goerz Dagor and fungus?
Do you want it? Then get it.
If you don’t want it… don’t get it.
Re: Goerz Dagor and fungus?
Make sure the fungus is on one of the outer surfaces, not a degradation of the balsam glue. Each element has 2 outer surfaces and 4 inner (3 elements in 1 group, so 4 internal glass faces). Cleaning off outer fungus is easy, re-cementing the lens to clean internal gunk is a bit of a job. The shutter sounds like it needs cleaning the slow speed escapement, or you can use it as-is and just use the 'B' setting for the 1s and 1/2s.
Depending on the focal length, $100 could be quite reasonable. If it's 9-1/2" or longer, I would buy it, providing it would clean up nice if those problems are fixed.
Re: Goerz Dagor and fungus?
No 7 is 14" or 360mm, f/7.7. $100 is a pretty low price for one. Depending on location and severity of the fungus, and depending on what kind of shutter it is, it could be a tremendous bargain. (Probably worth a gamble at $100)
EDITED: No 6 is 12", 7 is 14", 7A is 16.5"

I have my 14 inch f/7.7 Goerz Double Anastigmat Series III in a No 4 Acme in front of me now. It is marked "No 7". Educated guess is that a No 6 is a 12 inch Dagor, that is if Goerz numbered their Double Anastigmats and Dagor focal lengths with the same #'s. Either way I definitely wouldn't pass up on it for only $100.

Usable 14" Dagor for $100 would be an absolute bargain... with a whopping image circle stopped down past f22..
