Want to Buy FOUND WTB: Asa to pc adapter

[campy51]

Looking for this flash adapter to use with a Kodak Flash Supermatic shutter.
Thanks

If memory serves, you need a female bi-post to PC adapter.

It's different.
Thanks

It's different.

What do you mean?

Your shutter has a male ASA connector,
-) thus you need a female connector at one end of the cable, to connect it to.

The german shutters have a female PC connector
-) thus you need a female connector at the other end of the cable, to simulate it.

And this is exactly what Rick linked to.

Maybe you do not want to simulate a german shutter, but go directly to a PC flash
-) then you need a male connector at the PC end.


Your request is not clear on what you actually want.

Campy... Are you referring To the ASA bayonet?

... and if so, these are really hard to find so having Paramount make a custom cord might be the best solution.

Is this what your shutter looks like? If yes, you need the Bi Post adapter. If not, show us what you have.

I think this is the thing you’re looking for...

I had no idea they were on eBay for 65 bucks. I either found it or bought it when it was only a few bucks.

You could make your own.

Yes that it's. There are a couple on ebay but they want I think $69 which I think is high and hoping to find one cheaper.
Is yours for sale?

 

[Bill Burk]

Here you can get one that comes with a camera... (this is probably how I got mine)...

[BrianShaw]

That’s a bargain... even without making a lower offer!

Thanks, I put an offer in. How did you find that so quickly?

 

[campy51]

Looking at others on ebay I am beginning to think it's non removable.

 

[BrianShaw]

If you want to build a cord yourself (or use flashbulbs), here is an option...

I have had a few Kodak 35’s so I knew it had the ASA flash and might be cheap.

It’s removable. The others all have bayonet pins you can see

It’s funny, I would have traded for one of the bulk rolls of film... So when you sell the film be sure to cover the cost of the camera you just bought. Would hate to see you come out worse

It figures, and the guy accepted my offer so it will cost me $36. Do you need a camera to go with that adapter?

 

[BrianShaw]

Think of it this way... you got about a 50% discount, and a camera as a free gift!

Where both, the coaxial/bayonet one and the bipost one, used the same time, or was one the successor of the other?
