HI, I just found an old camera of mine and I wonder if I should just
turn it in on the next electonics recycling day. It's a Minolta Autopak
600-x purchased in 1972 (!). Used cartridge film and flash cubes. Can
anyone tell me if this has any value? And when I find my other oldies,
what's the best way to find out if they should go to the recycle pile?

Thanks,
Myrna

The Autopak 600-x is a 126 (original instamatic size) camera. I think
the film supply for that, if not gone completely, is very nearly gone.
And I haven't seen flashcubes for many years. You can buy one used from
KEH for $1.49 (I checked). That, to me, is no value at all. If someone
wanted to buy it from KEH the shipping would be more than the camera.

Well it sounds like this camera should go to the county recycling
center. Not surprised. Thanks for responding.
