Following on from Shane's Eumig Moto Mount Replacement post:

I spotted the other day a curious eBay lot.
A Eumig Mark S Super 8 and to go with it a C5! Recently bought a few early Mark M style Eumigs, most in some form of working order. You know "turn the main dial and the spindles will rotate". Cosmetically good. On arrival through the post, the motor mounts are distroyed. I've seen some novel replacements too. Hard rubber drilled for the motor pivot, even a thick card. I like the ideas, they just weren't executed correctly.
Erik would have a fit at the state of some screw heads too.
Shane though, I noticed the pivot mount on the back of the fan housing having grey paint. This is back in his thread on motor mounts. I assumed he painted them after replacement of the mounts but no! The whole fan housing was removed. Now why didn't I think of that
. I mention this as others hadn't thought of it either in their attempts to repair mounts and taking the adjustable bracket may be quick but probably not as good as removing the fan cover.
This new Mark S Super 8 does look good cosmetically but the mounts had gone and been replaced with the aforementioned hard rubber. Didn't work so another one for the bench. The C5 has an odd battery arangment. 5 double A's (AA) in a custom box. Good job too as a bit of leaking!
Thought I'd have a peek inside and low and behold, a film.
So why a curious tale? Haveing the Super 8 Mark S completes my early collection of Mark S and Mark S 709. The C5 was an aid to a database. The source material having reference to C5 and other cameras but until I did a search, didn't know what a C5 was. It's another Eumig first. But why pair a double 8 camera with a Super 8 projector?
I guess as it was ment for me![Embarrassment](https://8mmforum.film-tech.com/vbb/core/images/smilies/redface.png)
