Alpa Mod. 6 35mm SLR Camera w/50mm f1.8 Switar AR Lens

    Alpa reflex cameras were high quality 35mm SLR cameras manufactured in Switzerland starting in the 1940's. They have very unique styling and design.

    The Alpa Mod. 6 is a late 1950's vintage camera. It has a 45 degree angle viewfinder, split image focusing screen, and film advance knob. There is also a secondary viewfinder located next to the main viewfinder. Shutter speeds range from 1-1000 plus "B".

    This unit is very clean cosmetically with just a couple of minor marks on the back under the advance knob and one small mark on the front under the advance knob. This is a collector's piece. The shutter does fire but may not be accurate. Also on there is a delay on the bulb setting after the shutter button is released. Also included is a Kern-Switar 50mm f1.8 AR lens. It is cosmetically and optically clean with no scratches in the glass.

Warranty and Return Policy

Most of our inventory is composed of used equipment, and are sold as collector's items. Collectors have as their first priority that the piece be original; their second priority is that the piece be functional. Much of the equipment was not terribly good when it was new, and only has value because of its rarity or uniqueness.

  Returning an Item

We will accept returns if arrangements are made within 7 days of your receipt of an item. Beyond 7 days we reserve the right to repair or replace in lieu of a refund. Do not ship any item to us without first contacting us and receiving from us a Return Authorization number.

If you should have a problem with an item or wish to return it to us, please:

   1. Contact us by phone, email, or fax within 7 days of your receipt of an item.
   2. We will discuss the problem with you and then agree to a particular course of action. If the item is to be shipped back to us you will need to receive authorization from us prior to your shipment of the item.
   3. Please pack the item using the original packing materials, and pack it with similar care as we used when shipping the item to you. Use a smaller, appropriate box if you are shipping back fewer items than you received. See packing instructions.

              * We expect that new items will be returned in perfect, brand-new condition with all original packing materials, accessories, manuals, warranty card, etc. in new, perfect condition.
              * We expect all other items to be returned to us in the condition in which they were originally shipped to you.
              * You will be charged a restocking fee of at least 10% if any components are missing, or if any items were damaged while in your possession. If an item is damaged in shipment back to us, your refund may be delayed pending insurance settlement with the shipping company.
              * You agree to fully cooperate with Collectible Cameras and the insurer if items are damaged in shipment and an insurance claim is being made to an insurer.

   4. Ship us the item, and insure it for the value you paid. Collectible Cameras will not be responsible for items lost or damaged when they are shipped to us. Please ship by Federal Express, Airmail or Express Mail, or by United Parcel Service. Sorry, but we are unable to accept DHL deliveries.

              * All items must be shipped prepaid to Collectible Cameras. We will not accept items shipped COD or with "collect" shipping charges.

   5. We will inspect the item upon our receipt of it, then we will follow through with the agreed to course of action.

              * Refunds are promptly issued.
              * If the item is to be repaired, we will contact you with an expected completion date for the repair. If the repair cannot be performed, then we will quickly put through a refund.

We Are Easy to Deal With

If you receive a item and it is not as you expected we will take it back if arrangements are made with us within 7 days of your receipt of the item (or 14 days from the date of shipment, whichever is earliest). We ask that you be realistic about your needs. Expecting shutter accuracy on a 50 year-old camera might be unrealistic, especially for some cameras. Likewise with expecting a 40 year-old selenium meter to be accurate.
The key part of our warranty and return policy is that you may return any item for any reason within 7 days from your receipt of the item (or 14 days from the date of shipment, whichever is earliest) without a restocking fee-provided it is returned in its complete, original condition.
The buyer is responsible for return shipping costs.
