[LargeFormat] Linhof Color

[Dan Kalish]

At my request, the seller shipped it directly to Marflex.  They said a
ratchet gear on the rail was broken and had to be drilled out.  I can't read
the quote too well but the largest figure is $150 for labor.  I offered to
split repair costs with the seller but he preferred to refund my purchase
price ($275).  I've stayed away from eBay for cameras ever since.
