This vintage Yashica 8UP 8mm Movie/Cine camera is great for beginners, students, amateurs and professionals. It’ll produce high quality authentic vintage movie.. It’s in excellent condition and is ready to produce another lifetime of fantastic movies.
The camera was tested with 4 AA batteries and it ran. There was a Mercury battery once (we enclosed it is a plastic bag, it is not good anymore) In researching the mercury battery, I found that there are some hack that can be used to replace this mercury battery..which are now illegal to sell.
A good source I found was if a search is made for
"The trouble with mercury batteries (and what to do"
you will find a great article by
Daniel J. Schneider.
The camera requires 4 x AA batteries (not included). The camera's light meter requires two 675 zinc oxide batteries (not included)
NOTE:
Read the article mentioned above regarding the mercury battery replacement.
Comes with the carrying case, original manual, and take-up spool, a pistol grip and strap and take-up spool
Condition notes
The camera is in great clean condition and works!
The camera was tested with film installed (the film was not developed); the motor is running smoothly. The light meter is responding to light and it appears to be accurate but we're unable to guarantee its accuracy.
This is a great camera and film can still be gotten,
