Two years ago, I uploaded a combined photo of two incredibly rare accessories - the Contax Radio Control Set and its even rarer hybrid, the Yashica Wireless Mic & Receiver Set. Today, I have at last tracked down a complete, unused Yashica set and it's shown below. Yashica Wireless Mic_Receiver SetDating from 1980, it was designed to be used with the Yashica Sound 50XL movie camera which was manufactured from mid-1976 to early 1980. Interestingly, although I have an early and a late version of the camera, in neither of their user manuals does the Wireless Set appear as a system accessory. There is however another Contax-Yashica cross-over accessory listed for the camera - the Contax RTW Power Pack with a modified connector. It's very lucky to find the complete set including the two 9v dry batteries, all documentation and even the original price tag. Can't wait to try it out...
