Other than googling, not me. But is there anything in particular about this camera you are wondering about? In super 8, pretty much all cameras are the same, more or less.

Hi John,

I think you'll find that the Bauer 50xl is pretty similar - it was made by chinon and released the same year 1977... I think the s108 was similar too but the 50xl manual is apparntly the same...

Look here and scroll down to 'Bauer' and '50xl'

Should help - they layout should be the same with some minor cosmetic differences - the lens and focusing system look the same.
