1960s Universal City Studios 35mm Magazine - The Jaws, Airport, Earthquake Era!
~ A still fully functional relic from cinema\'s past ~
I was thrilled to acquire this historic mag many years ago and immediately sent it off to Visual Products to have it serviced back to shooting condition. Aside from the CLA, they also switched out its old timey film spindles (which I\'d never seen before or since) for the modern collapsible core variety.
I had VP save the original spindles and they are included here. The magazine will fit both the Arri 2C and the later 35-III cams, or simply display wonderfully in one\'s cine man cave.
This is only the second Universal relic I\'ve ever been able to get my hands on. The studios were quite diligent when it came to removing their insignias and labeling, so clearly verifiable items such as this mag seldom reach the market. Who knows how many classic Universal 60s and 70s flicks this magazine was front and center on? It may have even served in the hallowed trenches of the Ghost and Mr. Chicken or Munster, Go Home!
Condition-wise, it has the usual paint wear one would expect from a well-used piece of cine hardware, although the Universal City Studios stenciling and decal are still in nice shape. Mechanically, it\'s in ready-to-shoot condition.
With the threat of several pesky bills looming over me, I\'ll be listing new items almost every day. Regrettably, I\'m pricing ALL of my cine items to sell!Free shipping within the continental U.S. and I always ship out within 2 days, oftentimes All proceeds from sale sales are being devoted entirely to the creation of my first feature length film. Set in the 1960\'s, the flick is a sentimental ode to classic Japanese sci-fi cinema. Despite its minuscule budget, the project is jam-packed with giant mutated meanies, flying saucers, classic hot rods and daringly-dressed vixens. All realized with traditional 35mm cameras and practical, old school FX.
Absolutely NO CGI whatsoever!
Should any kind person purchase one of my items, they\'ll be directly funding my small-scale efforts to keep the fast-vanishing art of celluloid filmmaking alive.
