Camera booth camera

[kodaker]

Here is a camera that you don't see every day. It's the camera out of a photo booth that made a strip of 4 pictures while you sat and posed. My son, who is a collector of stuff like me called one day and asked if I wanted a photo booth. I said I would love to but I don't have room for it. He said he had found one that had been discarded and if I didn't want the whole booth, how about some parts from it, like the camera. I said of course. He brought me the camera, the adjustable stool, and a few miscellaneous other parts.

Here are some pictures. Starting from the top left is the business side of the camera. The square hole is the shutter, you can see that it's a rotating shutter. Inside there is a prism that directs the opening to the left to the lens and then to the film which comes down from the top. The bottom two left pictures show some of the insides, the ones on the right side show another side and top and then the bottom where the slot is that the film drops into the developing tank. The lens is an Ilex f2.9. It doesn't state the focal length.

Then there is the advertisement plate and the big card that shows some example pictures. I have enlarged one of the strips. It's the one that is on the left side of the big card. I think that is Cheryl Tiegs.

Now that's something a collector doesn't see every day.
