Looking for 70mm parts: FC lenses, matte box, finder, peanut motor

Post by Cinevision » Wed Aug 17, 2016 10:33 pm

Hello members,

I am looking for Mitchell FC (Fox Grandeur Widescreen Camera) parts and accessories for a restoration. The closer to 1930 vintage, the better.

Lenses: I am in need of FC (Fox Camera) Lenses such as the Bausch & Lomb Baltars (the mounts are just like a Mitchell standard mount, but larger to cover 70mm film, and have about 1-7/8" center to center on the 4 mounting screws).

Widescreen viewfinder

Early Peanut Motor (single speed, not HS and not VS)

Widescreen matte box

1920's/30's Mitchell tripod and friction mount

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks to all.

Ken Stone is your best bet if you haven't talked to him yet. Are you after looks or actual functionality? ED.

Another source to try is Cinema Gear, Richard Bennett in Southern California. What is the serial number is your camera?

I have the viewfinder box attached to the door. Missing the front eye piece and assembly.
