The s/n is 6194071 which puts it very close to the confirmed batch of S2E's (which are of course black)! But the rivets on the back are painted black. What's the story ???

Could this camera be an S2E that had the motordrive removed and a regular chrome back (painted black) put on it instead?

That could be the scenario.
In that case, the motor plate/lug should still be in there. Are we sure the rivets are suppose to be chrome? The number 6194071 falls in the right(black) batch, 6194068 and 6194072 are both confirmed numbers. The batch is believed to be 6194001-6194300 Remember, there are only 20 S2E's believed to exist and this batch has 300 cameras in it. Great find. Now, don't let this one get away! Kiu

I asked if the camera has a lug for a motor drive and two holes in the bottom, and got a reply from the seller that the camera does not, so its just a regular
black BD S2 rather than an S2E.
If you want, I can bid on it for you Kiu. |

You wanna see a repainted(fake) black S2? Apparently there are many more doing it in the Far East than just Shintaro...
http://page13.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/r52787429 I'm seeing repainted cameras offered in YJ auctions just about every month... I kinda like the stealthy look on this one, look Ma, no gloss

The one above was painted to look like the finish of an F2/T.
There's also this one below listed at the moment. http://page18.auctions.ya....jp/jp/auction/w35887465
