WTB: Arri 35-3 Clairmont Hand Crank attachments

[Joe Gill]

I have 2 of their 35-3's and just noticed they have a modified socket with a square peg in it instead of the usual frame advance.  Does anybody know if this is really a hand-crank or just for a direct drive motor or ?  Does anybody then know where I can source two of these hand cranks?  Attached is image of the socket.

Thanks,  Joe

Here is a picture of the connector:

I worked in the rental dept at Clairmont from 2006 to 2013 and there weren't any hand crank Arri 3s at that time - only somewhere between two and four 2C hand cranks.

You could check with Andree Martin about that port, he'd know what it's for. I think there should be a cap for that port.

Thanks!  There is a cap!

This is for a Norris Intervalometer, not a hand crank.  One could be machined with a reduction gear, but I don't know if it will be done anytime soon.  Thanks to Andree Martin for helping figure this out!
