Vintage Cine Camera Top Mount Floodlight IMAC - Boxed & Working

This dates I would imagine from the 1960s, possibly 70s. It's a fully functional top mounted movie floodlight for Super 8 cine cameras (ask your dad). Made in Italy by Imac (that should fetch a few curious techies in), it has a 1000 watt quartz iodine bulb, similar to those found in a security light, mounted in a 16cm wide reflective housing. The seat is adaptable for several makes of camera including a blade connector for Kodak, Yashica etc; single and double screw for Keystone, Argus, Crestline, Minolta, Cinemax, Bell and Howell etc.  It is mains powered and has been fitted with a UK plug. 

I have tested it and it works - it is extremely bright and very hot once running. There is a light cover but unfortunately somebody has left this on and melted a hole in the front. I thought the hole was an original safety feature in the cover until I noticed there were light settings moulded into the top face!

All parts appear to be present and it's in the original box with an English/German instruction sheet. Apart from the hole in the cover and a few marks on the box, it's in excellent condition.
