Funny that some of those Tower cameras which were the laughing stock of an entire generation cam now fetch some pretty high prices. Check this out on the KEH website

I have the tower 8mm projector on the 3rd page $158 new?!?!?  I got a bargain on it then ;)  Still works great.

How I wish I could place a few orders from this.  I would love to have a minty new 35 slide projector and more than a few of those cameras.

One thing I didn't really think about before was that cameras we're super expensive back then.  Holy smokes, that polaroid bundle on page 20 is $158.88, thats $1,138 with inflation.  Thats alot more than I would have expected.

Very cool to see, thanks for posting this.
