Is anyone familiar with this camera? I believe it was made in the late 50s by Leitz Canada and was used primarily by the military for aerial reconnaisance. I just got a hold of two. One seems to be complete and the other needs extensive work (or i may just have to use it for parts). I am very excited about the camera and want to get it up and running again, but as I am unfamiliar with this camera and it is my first time trying to repair and older camera I am looking for advice and suggestions on where to begin. Particularly, if anyone has past experience with the camera or knows of a house I could take it to for further advice (preferably near los angeles) that would be great help. Though one of the cameras seems to be complete, it does not have a power source and i unfortunately have no idea what type this uses.

Thank you so much.

The N9 was the standard NATO gun camera of the Cold War. Uses 16mm film. I believe military aircraft power was 28 VDC. I gave all my aircraft camera stuff to a local museum about 15 years ago.
