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.
