I think someone was a bit ham-fisted pulling out a sync cord; mine has a PC socket, but doesn't HAVE a PC socket... sorry! Need to get one put back on.
Yes, the GSN/GTN has a hot shoe also. They're all great, but my favourite would be the black 'GTN', the last version. In good condition, they look amazing.. Big, solid, not heavy really, and just a nice RF to have over your shoulder. Easy to use as well. You need an adaptor to use currently available batteries in the chamber, but these are literally a couple of bucks on EB, and work perfectly.
Don't overlook the little Minolta AL-F though, I've seen these go for as little as $20 in mint condition. Simple, shutter priority auto, and an unusual 38mm f/2.7 Rokkor lens. They're a perfect little street camera, quiet, unobtrusive, and LOVE 100ISO B&W. The lens offers a slightly wider than 'normal' FOV, and i found it perfect for candid street shots. Pick a shutter speed, and the camera displays an available aperture from f/16 to /2.7 in the VF. Red markers either side of these indicate incorrect exposure. If you see one, get it!
AL-F pics below, Rollei Retro 100..

Great shot! I found a GSN recently at an op-shop, apart from the flash sync socket being missing it is utterly as-new. About halfway through a roll of expired 64 Tungsten slide, hope they come out as well as this. I'm looking forward to seeing what the 45mm can do!

Thanks! Polly the cat and expired Rollei Retro 100 are my usual test for 'new' film bodies.. This ebay K1000 started an avalance of film bodies, but it's still one of my favourites.
