FREE! 6 Milliken DBMs, parts and lubricants

[sattch]

Free! I'm sick of trying to sell them, just want them to find a good home, so if you want them and you live in the LA area, it's yours.

 

6 Milliken DBM-5s plus parts, accessories, manuals, lubricants, etc and a bunch of junk film to test on. Bought them five years ago from two sellers, some are from Vandenberg AFB, the others were NASA, don't recall which. Was going to convert them to super 16, but my engineer ran off with the gate, mount and shutter for one of the cameras, and of course, my money. Haven't touched them in years, so while I'm sure they run fine, I can only vouch for them as parts. Some have had their electronics modded (or in the process) to run on 120v AC. There are only four shutters included.

 

Here's the list, pics follow:

Wow! If I lived in the US and had a car I'd be nabbing those! Sadly I'm on the other side of the Atlantic...

 

However, I have a Milliken DBM5 and the thread on the screw that holds the shutter in place is shot, you wouldn't have a spare you could sell me, please?

Does anyone know who got all this stuff? I just picked up one of these cameras and I might be looking for a couple of spare parts.
