On my search for camera's from the 60-80's I stumbled on a neat box containing a Bolex-Paillard Synchronizer 18-5 including manual etc., totally new. I'm not into 8 or 16 mm. film (sorry!), but I took it (also because it said "made in Holland")and found out its function. On the internet there is hardly anything to find about it.
Is this a collectors item and what is the value when I put it on Ebay or something?

Nico, I have one of those that came with an 18-5 Super Projector that I purchased a while back. Here is a post about it: Interesting 18-5 Super

In order for it to work your projector needs to be modified for it as you can see in my post. There's some extra electronics stuffed into the back of that little projector. You also have to use a reel to reel tape player with it. I have never used mine.
