The "great whatsit"

Post by etimh »

What's the deal with this thing? Does anyone know what is included in the "NIZO 801 macro Super 8 mm film MOVIE cine camera STUDIO?":

Why the "pre-approved bidders and buyers only" restriction? Like in Kiss Me Deadly, will the "great whatsit" be revealed when the case is opened?

It's the 801 Animation Trickset. I have the same set; it (more or less!) includes such things as a remote trigger, lens shade, and animation paper. I wish I spoke german just so I could interpriet the hardcover book it should come with also. I forked out $300US for mine, which seems par. And, if I remember correcly, it should come with a black version of the camera. Mine was switched out sometime in its life and came with a nice clean silver one. I mostly like the case. Great for transport and storage.
For the love of it all...
