This is a nice system. Eumig made some of the most interesting things.
Man, I love Eumig. I wish they stayed around.
This system is as follows.
You need the Eumig T5 tape recorder. This is a cool looking portable tape recorder that uses 1/4" tape in a special small magazine. Much superior to the Philips Cassette tape system that took over in 1963.
T5 is connected to C5 (or C6 or S2 or S3 Eumig R8 cameras) via a two pin cable.
To play back you need the Eumig Phonomatic P8 projector which plays the sound off T5 in sync with R8 reel of film shot on above cameras.
T5 was made in 1962. Only 100 were made. Modern looking machine like their L5 speakers :)
