I bought a 1962 model from a merchant in Athens, Greece via eBay. He noted: This is a well made high quality French movie camera body. Camera is in Ex. condition and good working order.

A screw was missing on the rewind crank. The cover plate inside had dings. Upon opening the camera I found traces of somebody who picked on the cover plate and pounded on the pin in the claw shaft. All bearings bone dry with the exception of one where he must have begun with lubing but then changed his mind.

The claw shaft lies in a miniature ball bearing and a bushing on the other end. I read ADR FRANCE AX4 on its outer ring, Fischer designates 618/4. Anyway, the bore is 4 mm, outer diameter is 9 mm, height is 2,5 mm.



Does anyone want to see more?
