Canon 814 Auto Zoom Electronic Super 8 Camera Professionally Serviced

New to filmmaking, film school, or looking for the perfect gift for a new Super 8 enthusiast? This is the perfect camera for that!

This camera sounds and runs smoothly throughout. Auto and manual exposure are responsive and have both been tuned for accuracy. The power zoom works well throughout the full range. The diopter adjusts as intended. There is no rust in the battery compartment, and the main motor and power zoom gears have been greased according to maintenance specifications. The torque is measured and strong. All speeds and fades work as intended. The camera body and handle grip are solid, and the glass and viewfinder are clean, showing normal wear that does not affect film quality. However, it should be noted that these are 50-year-old cameras, and a few cosmetic signs of normal wear should be expected.

The camera comes with a 1970s carrying bag!

PLEASE NOTE that we no longer have the remote trigger shutter displayed here on these photos. By purchasing this item you agree that this bundle will NOT contain a remote for the shutter.

STORE-WIDE note about vintage bags: please note that we do not service, nor repair these bags, we give them to you exactly as we find them; as you know, we are in the camera servicing business, and not in upholstery. These bags' interior materials decade over time and have a tendency to shed micro fibers of felt and/or foam, and the bag's exterior usually presents wear and tear normal with 50 years of usage/storage. For these reasons your camera will arrive perfectly shrink-wrapped, you nay want to maintain your camera in a Ziploc bag moving forward. So please, if you are really picky about the quality of these bags then please buy a modern bag and use that one instead. We will not exchange, nor return a camera purchase due to the bag's condition, refunds or partial refunds due to bag's condition are also not accepted.

STORE-WIDE DISCLAIMER: all super 8 cameras are about 50 years old, please understand that no lens will be perfect, having said that, due to the low resolution aspect of Super 8 format, most imperfections will not be seen once film is developed.
