Comments:There's still a few of these in use in Australia however 40 years of use have taken their toll... This was found on a street with a few Z9464's, an Eleco and a REVO Lucidor A. My dad gave me his barely-used Fuji S2000HD SLR camera which takes some pretty good distance shots. This fitting is around 10.5 metres up in the air!

i now have one of these. theyre humongous, and extremely heavy too.

Is this really an Alpha 9? Bowl doesn't look right, does it?
Kev   [Dec 14, 2014 at 07:45 PM]
One of the many variations of them. The bowl is stupidly thin on them.

It is a standard bowl, but an optical illusion, as you can`t see the rear right hand corner, (because of the lit lamp, and the crap in it), you can`t make the shape out, but its there Very Happy
Have a longer look!
