Kolchak: The Night Stalker - His Gear

[klung1]

Hi,
Does anyone know the type of camera, flash and tape recorder used by Darren McGavin in the 1972 Night Stalker TV show?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

I think it was some 110 camera with a flash.

I had one when the show came out but God it was so long ago I forgot which brand it was.

Back then finding a flash for it was NO easy feat either.

Looking forward to seeing what the board comes up with on this one.

I'm a HUGE Kolchak fan and I've begun the process of trying to figure out Kolchak's gear as well. I CAN tell you that Kolchak's tape recorder in the Night Stalker movie was a Sony TC-40. I can post pics if anyone's interested.

He had one of the Kodak pocket cameras that takes 110 film. Do a google and see what comes up .

What was unusual was the flash attachement on it, I was into photography at the time the show was on and no one knew what the hell that was. :lol

Anyone make his zombie killing kit or his leather mojo bag to fight witchcraft?

Glad to see people still appreciate the show.

It was like the original X-Files.

I look forward to seeing how this thread progresses.

I can't find the exact camera for the life of me. The DVD set is great but I can't find a clear enough shot to read the brand. The lens is round and prominent..unlike any Kodak's I can find pictures of.

Sill one of my favorite shows...every few months or so I toss in the movies and the series into the DVD player a watch the whole thing over the course of week.

Don't forget the crappy 70's pen light he always had.

The camera could be a 126, a larger format film in a similar type cartridge.

I grabbed these from the episodes 2 and 3. Any thoughts? I can't find any images of a 110 camera with the round lens like that.

Any help would be appreciated!
