KGB Rollover Camera 'Alycha'

Opening
Price realised:
Beschreibung:

This very rare rollover camera was made in a special workshop of KMZ at Krasnogorsk. It is rolled over the document at a speed of 20cm/sec by hand and copies a 10cm wide strip of the document to a 8.3mm filmstrip in a special cassette. Outfit in a grey aluminium case with red interior plastic fitting. The camera is perfectly disguised as a notebook (there is also a real brown notebook in the outfit that looks exactly the same). The camera has its own light source that is switched on automatically when the camera is moved across the document. The outfit also comprises a crank activated precision film cutter that cuts two strips of 8,3mm out of a 35mm film, spare cassettes and batteries with matching charger (115 and 220V). A similar outfit is illustrated in 'Keith Melton, Ultimate Spy, Expanded Edition', page 100
