Malcolm - I have 3 LX and really need to sell one. The one I offer is my oldest and newest. It is the oldest in years since production. Newest in terms of time in my home. I bought it last spring as a fixer-upper. Pentax USA did a compete CLA, repaired a sticking shutter curtain, and replaced the leatherette. I have used it several times since, probably 4-5 rolls, enough to verify that it is functional with no apparent problem. It does NOT have the meter-button feature that was added on later versions; i.e., you cannot trigger the meter by pressing the button in the center (or the centre) of the finder release lever. So it would not work well with an attached winder.
$375 USD plus shipping, includes grip, strap, standard finder, and your choice of a grid or a standard finder screen. Let me know if at all interested. I could accept Paypal via my oher account ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) or many other forms of payment. Oh, and I would refund the price, but not the shipping, if you decide to return undamaged within 2 weeks of receipt . . . Not a long term warrenty by any means, but then I am not a dealer either. I'll be here for the next 24 hours, then out of town and away from my email through late Friday . . .
