FS: PT-015 and broken 5050z & lenses

[BioG]

I have an Olympus PT-015 Housing that I would like to sell. The housing is a about four years old, but has never flooded. My 5050z camera that goes in it died last year, and it's not much good without it. The o-rings in the case are 1 year old.

Also included is an extra set of o-rings (two years old), and silicon grease for the rings

Also if anyone wants a 5050z for parts, I'll include it with the sale. The camera boots up fine, and appears to be working, but about 50% of the pictures it takes are severely garbled, pixelated and off-color. Also, it no longer retains settings when the batteries are changed.

With the camera I have a "Tiffen Tube" step-up ring and 43mm Polarizer, UV protector and 812 warming lens.

$75 plus shipping OR BEST OFFER. I'd be happy to hand-deliver it to someone living in the Boston, MA area. Reply or PM me if interested. THANKS!!!

Hi Steve
Interested in mailing this to Australia? Don't need insurance and can pay you by PayPal.
BTW have you tried reloading the C5050 firmware? Easy to do, let me know if you need a link to instructions and latest firmware.
Regards
Peter

I tried emailing Olympus when the problem first started and never got a response. From what I was able to find out from other people who tried to have cameras repaired, it didn't really sound worth it (cost to ship, repair charge, etc).

I haven't tried reloading the firmware, but at this point, I've started looking around at replacements and have had my eye on a new camera. Whoever buys it is certainly welcome to try that.

Plus I've had some interest in people buying it, so I won't retract it now.
