Default WTB: 6x9 folder

I think the title tells the story... I am looking for a simple 6x9 folder (preferably with some old-school triplet lens), nothing fancy, but it should work - by which I mean that i should have reasonably clean optics, be light-tight and the shutter should be working (I'm not saying it should be accurate). No need for rangefinder. And yes, it ought to be cheap.

Thanks for any offers.

A.

PS: I am located in Czech Republic...

I have quite a few amongst my collection and I'm supposed to be 'rationalising'. So I'm sure I've got something to fit the bill. How cheap is cheap?

Thanks, well, I have to admit I have almost no clue about prices (and I don't think ebay prices are relevant in this niche corner), but I hoped to keep the price two-digit.. And if it's less than 99 that would be a good thing :-)

Ok, I'll give you some options. What you're looking for will be a lot less than £99 as you don't need a rangefinder or fancy lens and shutter.
I'm thinking Agfa Billy or ensign ranger type thing.... Will have to see what I have though.

Haven't had a chance to get to them yet. The only one I have out so far is an Ensign ranger special 6x9/6x645 with rosstar lens in excellent shape and working... but I'd test anything before I sent it of course. These are quite heavy compared to the German equivalent. Have a google. £50 +p&P
I'll tell you about the others when I find them.
What about old pre war folders with meniscus lenses? Too basic?

No worries, I am not in a hurry... Will google the Ensign when I get a bit more time at hand.. Meniscii aren't bad at all - indeed, the main reason why I'd like to have one (or two) is to make some tiny Kallitype (or vandyke) prints so a meniscus would fit the bill quite well...

I'll let you know when I find the others.
