Non-Working ME Super Outfit - £150

Camera "heavily used" and corroded, a lens glued together, and in a battered case.

The 50mm F1.7 might be worth £25, while the one other good but 3rd party lens, the converter and the 283 can generally be had for around £10 each without having each other as baggage. That's assuming they work. The rest is junk.

All of the items are in a heavily used condition, and the camera will need a little TLC, due to some corrosion on the body. The Hanimex lens, has been poorly glued back into place by its previous owner and will need a repair. The case is heavily marked and will need a clean.

Wow, I immediately thought of QDOS, the "Quick and Dirty Operating System" which Microsoft bought for a song ($50,000?) from SCP (Seattle Computer Products) and re-sold as MS-DOS/PCDOS and becoming the foundation of Microsoft's mega-fortune. SCP had hastily re-named it 86-DOS when they realised MS might be interested in it.

Microsoft cheated SCP by mis-representing what their interest was (settled out of court) but QDOS in turn was believed to have been a rip-off of CP/M (also settled out of court).

SCP created QDOS because Gary Kildall was dragging his feet releasing an X86 version of CP/M. The Kildall blew off a meeting with IBM allowing Gates to get the deal, even though he didn’t have an OS…

The Vivitar Qdos lenses contain anaglyphic elements. Good to know that.
