Seller: go-kart87 ✉️ (761) 100%, Location: Wirral, GB, Ships to: WORLDWIDE, Item: 332242672413 Vintage 1932 Coronet Mk 1 Model 'A' Cine Camera (9.5 mm Film & Case). Vintage 1932 Coronet Mk 1 Model 'A' Cine Camera (9.5 mm Film & Case) Selling this on behalf of my father. He was under the impression that this was a working camera, even though he has never used it. I have had a look inside (see images) and I would question it's functionality. Please also read condition and survey pictures before bidding. Condition: Rough! The case is holding together but is noticeably worn - strap perished. The camera is again worn, quite rough around the edges. I'm not certain how better to describe the condition so please view images in detail. Film cassettes are apparently unused, I however cannot verify this.  Here's a bit of spiel I found online: "The 1932 Coronet 9.5mm Mk 1 cine camera was a simple affair - a 'sardine tin' type metal case size 5.25 x 4.5 x 2.125 inches and weighing around 1.25 Kg., leatherette covered, fitted with a clockwork spring wound motor running a full 30ft of film at 16 frames per second, and a fixed focus f3.9 iris operated lens mounted on a bakelite front piece. There was a leather carry handle, direct vision viewfinder and push button for filming. There was no provision for single frames nor even a tripod bush. Film was loaded in the usual Pathe 'P' film chargers which hold around 28ft of 9.5mm camera film. Interestingly, the film intermittent movement was achieved by a maltese cross type movement driving a sprocket below the film gate. A simple barrel type shutter was employed. The film gate area was a mazak casting which these days will often be found to be distorted or cracked. The main feature of this camera was its price - only 75 shillings - that is £3.75 in modern parlance. This made it a very cheap product - Pathescope cameras started at just over £5 for example. Unfortunately results were non too sharp even at smaller lens apertures, but it no doubt was popular and got people involved with home movies. The Coronet Camera Company was founded by Frederick W. Pettifer around 1926 and initially based at a converted private house at 48 Great Hampton Street, Aston, Birmingham, UK. By 1932 they had relocated to premises at 308-310 Summer Lane, Aston, Birmingham, UK. Coronet specialised in low price simple still picture cameras, mostly made of plastic, moulded by a local Birmingham firm of Edwin Elliott, with lenses made by the British Optical Lens Co. another local business. In 1932 they launched a very low price simple 9.5mm cine projector and cine camera. By 1937 both the cine camera and projector had been upgraded to model B cine camera and Mk 11 projector. A final model C cine camera was launched in 1938. Sadly their factory was bombed during the secomd world war and although still camera production resumed, no more cine equipment was produced."
