actually, it worked for me. i bought a "NIB" FA-1W finder from team-photo.de, and (eventually) got a used FA-1. granted, it took almost a year and it was quite a hassle, but in the end i did cash a check a month ago. of course, minus deductible -- but on the bright side, i got to keep the finder too. i just had to be persistent (to put it mildly).
best, mishka
