Default I am two cameras richer today

In my slow and steady effort to rid my garage of stuff from my mothers estate I was looking through boxes of seemingly random "stuff". In one of these boxes was more of her art supplies and two cameras.

One is a Windsor WX-3 which from my research is a Diana knockoff but is fully metal and supposedly gives a bit nicer images than the Diana. Not a bad score and am looking forward to shooting a roll through it.

The other is a Yashica Electro 35 GSN. From my short research it was made around 1971 or so an is fully aperture priority. It shoots film speeds ranging from 25 - 1000, has a shutter timer, hotshoe, and what appears to be a rather nice 45mm piece of glass permanently affixed to it.

Both of these cameras are in mint condition so I am pretty proud to have them in my collection.
Just thought I would share my find

Gimme a list and I may be interested. I am mostly interested in medium format and large format right now but anything is a consideration.

If not me then maybe Mike might be interested too.
