Re: Auto Column - WIW ?

Well, I'm not in desperate need to get rid of it.
I'm actually considering keeping it with the possibility of putting an automatic in my 65 in the future.
I'll do some more research on it, but here is another thread I found regarding the rarity of the 3-speed Auto Column. But then again, LILRED66 says the lenses are interchangeable. So if it's just the lens that's rare, then I don't see why someone couldn't just use their 2-speed and then find or make their own 3-speed lens.

Maybe mine isn't worth $225. And don't take this as a snotty comment;
But it makes no sense for me to sell it for $175 to only be able to afford to buy one of your $175 dollar 2-speed columns.
But I will surely give it more thought before I let it go for less than $225
Especially if I'm considering putting an auto in my 65 sometime in the future.

Here is some close up pics:
What Sweptline calls 'substantial pitting and wear' isn't that at all, but mostly that it's dirty. I did a quick wipe.

Thanks guys for your interest.
