Awesome! :) My Grandfather had vintage cameras like these to film holidays and such (circa 1960s-1970s...maybe even earlier, before my time)! I remember that Sun Gun lighting up the living room just like the sun; and, the heat it threw! :) The Baia Instasplicer Eight Hundred @6:29 is for splicing/joining Super 8 reel-to-reel movie films together. Ha-ha...a very old "Two Guys" price tag! :D The "Offer" @7:28 is from the old department store "Grant's!" :D Another flash-from-the-past! :) I can't remember who it was, but, there was some Hollywood director some years back who purposely bought vintage cameras to film parts of a modern movie in order to get an old effect. May have been Oliver Stone!?!? It may be a challenge, but, you should do the same with these cameras and post your clips on RU-vid. The results may be impressive, and, it will likely be a lot of fun! :) Don't ever get rid of these! :) Thank you for the great memories, and, for posting this! :)
The mount with the lighting unit attaches to one of the old cameras. You will find a removable nut on the camera. Super 8 film came later, perhaps early 1970s. The splicer would attach one 3 minute movie reel to the next one. Or can be used for editing. The sun gun would be used with the movie camera. It needs a steady source of light. The flash bulbs might be from the 1960s, perhaps the 50s. They should still work if you attach a 9v battery to the terminals. Don't look right at it. It's very bright.
If I recall (and if you got bored) I think if you took one of those old flash bulbs and rocket hurled it to the ground the stuff inside it would make the flash stuff go off! Haha! That wouldn't have been something I could have gotten away with doing when I was a kid but my older brothers would have tried it!
See people they was already making Tik-Tok and RU-vid videos back in the 50s and 60s using technology and videos it just took him about 50 years to upgraded
