Dear leofoo, I have always been a big fan to the MIR Nikon site. I recently saw a "Black NIKON F/F36 cordless TRIBUNE high speed" at ebay Canada. I think the model is quite rare, thus have asked permission from the seller to contribute the images to your site. Below is the description of the camera:

The details as per advertisements: ".... One of only a handful known, as made for the CHICAGO tribune newspaper. A special modified F-36 motor drive and 10 cell battery pack for cold weather and faster framing rates 4+ FPS. This is a white dot motor serial 125943 with camera number 6810851 and is the 3 or forth body adapted to this motor three serial numbers are on the inside of the motor where the camera body mounts. Body has black eyelevel finder and overall the entire unit is in very good condition. only dent is on the supplemental battery box at the bottom could be tapped out. Battery pack holds 10 AA cells and has built-in battery checker and rear mounted S-C selector......".

Below is the e-mail I wrote to the seller, MR Douglas, and the reply I got from him: "....
