Haven't had much luck with the local church run recycle store. I think someone has the staff trained to call when good stuff arrives!
The Goodwill store opened only recently and this was my first visit. Nothing camera related in the display cases. I ventured back to the nic nac section and found a box of point and shoots and "giveaway" cameras. In it I found a Canonet 28 with instructions, ca 1975 product guide and Canolite D. $7.99! I didn't bother trying to chisel 'em. No battery in the camera or flash so no leaks to clean up. Generally good condition but needs new seals on the back door. I'l stick a battery in it and report back.
For you cine fans, there's a Vivitar super 8 of some description there. Heavy. Make a good hammer!

P.S. The battery didn't revive it. A quick attempt at cleaning the contacts didn't either. Looks like a more careful going over will be required.
