I put two ES II cameras to a new use - stereo photography. I attach both cameras to a long bracket and place them close together so that the 50 mm lenses are slightly over two inches apart. I use the hyperfocal method to focus the cameras, and operate the shutters using a double-cable release.

I'd sell while the selling is good. Back in late 1978, after having used my Model 1 16K computer for about a year the trend was building w/in Radio Shack to drop prices before cancelling product. I'd heard hints of the price drop so sold the computer for $700. (Paid $988 for it a year earlier,
