chauncey_walden Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 <p>I rescued this tank from a bargain bin. Someone must have just thrown the box away as it looks unused. It is a Marvel from Sears, Roebuck and Company (whatever happened to Roebuck?). The spiral adjusts from 35mm to 616/116 including 127. It works by twirl and swirl - no inversion! I already have and use a 616 spiral tank (Ansco) and the twirl and swirl works just fine. They are still out there. I'm going to put this one in the classified.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDMvW Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 <p>This is actually a nicer piece of industrial design than one would think. Almost ready for a Art Deco exhibit.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_cheshire Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 <p>Uhm, Roebuck got bored with the company after a few years, sold out the interest to Sears, lost most of his money, tried to get back with Sears and died alone and penniless. </p> <p>Hey, I had one of those tanks. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
