Vintage Bell & Howell 35mm film camera Type 71 Turret style with lenses, Case + For Sale

You are offerding on a Bell & Howell Type 71 Eyemo with 3 lens Turret, Hand Grip, hand crank, Original Case, keys for the case and other goodies which I have shown in the photos.

This is a manual camera with spring wind mechanism. The camera mechanism is noisy but works fine. I took it to a camera shop and they tried it out and they felt it \'s shooting mechanism was fine. I believe this camera to be in very good working condition but I have not shot film with it.Please note that buyer pays the shipping and the box is at 25 lbs without any packing so it will go up from there. Do not pay for item until I send an invoice for the packed item. I will not be charging extra above the actual shipping cost except for insurance

It has three lenses that are as follows:

Cooke 4 inchT 2.8 Panchrotal Anastigmat

Bausch & Lombe Baltar 75mm 3 inch f2.3

Bell & Howell 1.4 inch 35mm T2.5 f2.3 Type V

Below is what I found online re the specs...

The 35mm B&H Eyemo model 71 is a compact, rugged camera based on the design of the B&H 70 Filmo. Eyemo cameras found wide use as newsreel cameras in the 30\'s and 40\'s and were distributed in large numbers to American armed forces during WW2. The only existing D-Day footage was shot on an Eyemo. Hollywood used them as B cameras in shots that were too cramped or too dangerous to place a standard studio camera, so a lot of Eyemos seen nowadays show evidence of prior damage from use as crash cameras. The original Eyemo lens mount is completely different in design from modern lens mounts, and several Eyemos have been modified to accept newer lenses. Eyemo mount lenses were manufactured by Cooke, Bausch & Lomb, Elgeet, General Scientific/Miltary, and others; some of the lenses are a bit soft but otherwise can intercut with footage from modern cameras, but the older ones are very primitive and exhibit vignetting, flare and corner distortion. Eyemos were originally all parallax viewfinder cameras; some have been modified over the years for reflex viewing. The mechanisms are very loud and sound like coffee grinders, so don\'t attempt dialog with an Eyemo. Any Eyemo you find will probably be at least 50 years old, so some overhaul (at least oiling the lube points) will probably be necessary to bring it up to speed. As noted in the Filmo page, these cameras are very simple, small and robust, but are (intentionally) not as precision work as a modern studio camera. But a working Eyemo in good shape and a decent lens makes fine, steady pictures that can be intercut into feature work.
