Ummm. Ever had one of those days?

NC is to the LEFT.

Going now ti beat my head against the wall.

Steffens, I am going to change that last answer about the silent camera. Upon further review and looking at both of my cameras at about the same angle and comparing the L bases between the GC and NC, I have to place the camera as a GC and possibly high speed up to 120 FPS. The plaque on the camera d...

Gee, don't check in for a whole day and excitement ensues... Steffen. Thanks for joining in. The Broccoli organization does not have call sheets? Does small #3 have enough detail on the original to see the badge better? If not, based on the fact the setup includes the sidefinder flip up, the follow ...

Blueimperio,

Blueimperio, Yes, we have the full records for NC's and most all Mitchell cameras here. You are correct with the 1960 date. When you register your camera with us, we will provide that information in the form of a registration certificate. You can access the registration page from the front page of t...

There are a few NC 2000 ft mags made that appear to be 3piece speciality units. That would give almost 20 minutes running time but would require takeup torque motors. 35mm standa...

Jason, You have an odd mashup of parts. The wood sticks are pre 1930. The head is post 1946. The 20th Century Fox knobs on the tripod are add-ons most probably from some other piece of equipment as Zanuck did not take over Fox until 1935 and branded parts were probably a few years away from that. Th...

Chris,

The camera door is not an accessory. It is a basic part of the camera rackover design and one of the top reasons the Mitchell camera became the premier motion picture camera over the Bell&Howell 2709.

Just saw you posted the badge from the motor door on sunday. That is 4 for 4. Cannot get better than that!

Here is some more information about the hi speed motor door from the 1934 catalog.

Note the prices in 1934 $$:
