I hope trooper shows that off before he sends it over to you. I'd be interested to know what camera he's using.
Last "working" one I saw was by Jim "Hyperdyne" Shima over 10 years ago.

That's how I am going to do mine, figuring that's what the prop makers did back in 76.
Good to see that these parts match up really well w/ what photos we have.:thumbsup

LOVELY!!!
Waiting on my parts from @trooper, who will add some of his "magic" to my build by incorporating a working camera into my hero macros
Can´t wait to rebuild mine with all the new parts and based on the new informations :cool

I mounted my mystery box setup using two M2.5mmx0.45mm machine screws. These were the closest I could find to the connector's stock faceplate screws. None of the big-box stores had anything close (as expected) but Ace had some of these in their "miniscrews" drawer. I almost missed them. They didn't have any locking nuts in that size, so I just used two nuts tightened against each other. The screws threaded into the plug surprisingly well, making a solid connection. This thing isn't going anywhere, and if I do ever get my hands on the accurate green-tab faceplate, it's an easy swap/re-mount:
