I didn't realize they were kaput. I miss my Rolleicord IV. I bought it for $40 back in the mid 90's and had a lot of fun with it- alot of rolls of Velvia and Pan F went through those rollers. I gave it to my little brother when he was in college, I wonder if he still has it.
Never put my hands on an actual Rolleiflex, but considering the quality of the "cheap" Rolleicord I had I can only imagine what awesome cameras the flex's were.
