I have a 30 year old Nikonos V that just quit working @ 2 years ago. You have to send it to Texas to fix it and they'll charge you @ $100,000,000 just to look at it. I was going to throw it out but if anybody wants it they can have it. I am in Jupiter Fl, so I would prefer someone in S. Fla come and get it or if someone out of area wants it we can work out something about shipping. I don't really know whats wrong with it, but it wont wind after the picture. I'd take a picture of it but, wouldn't ya know it, my camera doesn't work.

You might be able to donate it to a museum or something like it and get a tax deduction for it.

Smithsonian might take it too if it has history.

I know of people buying used/broken V's on eBay for parts.
