Crystal snyc

[Will Cookson]

Hi,
I've got a Beaulieu 6008S and i'm looking for a snyc mechanism to attach to it so i can record sound separately - does anyone know where i can get one cheaply?
Cheers, Will

Congratulations on owning such a fine camera!

You asked for cheap, which I don't have a source for. Here are two EXPENSIVE sources for such items, though I'm an uncertain as to their current availability:

Chambless Cine Equipment
Route 1 Box 1595 Highway 52W
Ellijay, GA 30540-9723
(706) 636-5210
Fax: (706) 636-5211

Super8 Sound (http://www.super8sound.com)
2805 West Magnolia St.
Burbank, CA 91505
(818) 848-5522

I have also read online that Irv Higdon in California deals in reconditioned Beaulieu cameras. Maybe he has accessories, too. His contact info is (or was):

Irv Higdon
16454 Tulsa St.
Granada Hills, CA 91344
(818) 360-7955

If that phone number is not current, try (818) 831-6797. I saw that one listed for Irv elsewhere, and I haven't had time to verify either one.

Otherwise, you might try some of the other sources on my Hunting Hardware page at http://www.dibbs.net/~brantley/s8hard.htm.

And then there's always eBay, where good deals can still be had if you are careful not to pay too much in a bidding frenzy! (I haven't learned this lesson myself!)

Good luck.
