What is It?

Here's some details of the Edixa cameras. The camera Manual is here.

Here in the UK these early 50's cameras tend to be fairly inexpensive at camera fairs but they can be quite useable. Hopethe manual helps.

Thanks, that was a good read.

Anywhoo, here's some better picatures.
I'm pretty certain that the black circle on the top right of the lens is actually a flash nipple. But I'm not entirely sure.

And then the missing bolt/nut thing. It should sit inside the lever and connect it to the inner loading spinner thing.

I'm thinking I might buy another one off ebay and just use it for parts.

Oh, and a FCS.

 

[Kazooie]

Hmm, I'm not having any luck finding an old beat up one that isn't $30 that I could use for parts.

 

[IanG]

It's not that common a camera, you'd be better to improvise and find a nut that fits the wind lever.

Well that's disappointing! :x

 

[Jaemie]

Is that nut merely cosmetic - do the winder parts wind without it?

 

[Kazooie]

It's required, it's what connects the lever thing to the part that would slide the next peice of film out.

So me and my day made a bolt for it, I'm glad. All I need is a dab of epoxy to secure the bolt to the winding lever.
