Large collection of rare Robot Berning accessories – including Robot II Rangefinder, SR-Schnellwechselkassette & Electromagnetic trigger-release devices. NB. The Robot II shown in the photo series is NOT part of this lot!! Presented is an exceptionally complete and historically fascinating collection of accessories for the iconic Robot (Otto Berning & Co.) cameras. This specific selection of accessories focuses primarily on the advanced, industrial, scientific, or (historical) military applications of the Robot system (such as surveillance or aerial photography). The lot contains several very rare and sought-after collectibles that are perfectly documented in the well-known reference literature: • 1x Robot II Coupled External Rangefinder Unit (Rangefinder Unit - 1st Version): Fully functional. A rare horseshoe-shaped mounting system with focal-length indicators (37.5mm, 40mm, 75mm) to upgrade early Robot bodies to a precise rangefinder camera. The mechanism runs smoothly and the finder image shows good contrast. • 1x Rare Robot SR-Schnellwechselkassette & Spansleutel: The item on the left front with the fixed metal guide bridge (reference: Hans Grahner, Robot - Das Sammlerbuch, item SR). This is the sought-after linked double-cassette system that allowed film to be threaded outside the camera for lightning-fast field changes. Supplied with the corresponding toothed tensioning/winder (right front in the photo) to manually pull the film tight within the SR system. • 12x Original Metal/Plastic Film Cassettes: A very generous set of loose cassettes consisting of 4x TR cassettes, 2x N cassettes, 1x T cassette, 1x N cassette, 1x K cassette, 2 unlettered cassettes, and 1 non-original plastic variant. • 1x Electromagnetic Remote Control / Shutter Release (Solenoid Actuator): The large cylindrical block with the characteristic long telescopic pin and accompanying cables. This type of heavy relay control was used for automatic remote recordings. • 1x Compact Electromagnetic Shutter Relay: The smaller black cylindrical block with fixed power lead, intended for direct mounting above the shutter button. • 2x Original Aluminum Lens Hoods (Lens hoods): With a diameter of 37mm, fitting classic Schneider-Kreuznach or Radionar lenses. • 1x Original Lens Cap: Diameter 41mm with Robot relief embossing. • 2x Original Red Boxes: For the Robot Universal Finder (Universal finders). Condition of the items: The mechanical components (such as the rangefinder, the SR cassette, and the lens hoods) are in good, smoothly functioning vintage condition with normal aging and use marks (patina) that suit the authenticity of this set. The electromagnetic components and associated cabling are visually complete but have not been tested for electrical operation due to the specific power requirements (mostly historical 12V/24V systems). One cardboard box bears the inscription: Iniversal Sucher (this box DOES NOT contain a finder). The other small box is also empty and missing a side (inscription TR kasette). See the photos for an accurate impression of the cosmetic condition of this lot; the photos are an integral part of the description.
