Good news, bad news...
In the middle of the three cameras is a Kodak Jiffy Six-16. The two cameras on either side are both an Ansco Viking 6.3; the difference between them is that the one on the left is US-made and has an Anastigmat lens, whereas the one on the right was made in Germany and features an Agfa lens. The bad news is that the one on the left and the one in the middle don't operate and need significant repair. It's a good thing that both eBay sellers accept returns. (I only buy from sellers who offer returns.)
Ah, yes...finally we get to the good news. The camera on the right seems to be in good condition. I've yet to test it with film but I'm confident that it will perform well.
Sure, it's only stuff and one can always get stuff. Still, this is REALLY COOLstuff. I just don't see me on my deathbed saying, "Ya know, I wish I hadn't bought so many cameras..."
**Update**
I decided to keep both of the non-functioning units. They need a good home!
