Canon Canosound 514XL-S Super 8 Vintage Camera + Original Box Manual Leather Bag
Right off the bat i will tell you, i put in fresh AA's and heard a slight whirring then stopped. It is immaculate condition so i was confused it genuinely appears as new as shown however then i thought...if it's in immaculate condition it probably hasn't been ran for decades maybe even close to original manufacture date and thus i conclude it needs a relubing or something to get those gears going
THE LIGHTMETER IS SPOT ON THOUGH AND LENS SUPER CLEAR AS WELL AS THE VIEWFINDER AND JUST THE WHOLE UNIT IN GENERAL, PRISTINE but shes probably a few decades for a service, SELLING AS FOR REPAIR
Comes with everything as shown im not selling as used and untested like these other jagoffs its tested and needs work to get it working
The Canon 514XL-S (introduced in 1976) is a compact sound super 8 movie camera and was Canon's first sound camera. It became a long-selling hit because of the sophisticated sound system which has manual and automatic audio level controls. Unfortunately sound cartridges aren't available anymore, but you can still use this camera to record sound externally because it's more quiet than non-sound cameras.
