victoria_santos Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 Yesterday, I received an Ansco Cadet II camera that had belonged to my sister-in law's godfather, and I have no idea how to use it. Does anyone know where I can find a manual for it, or just how to use it? I know it takes 127 iso film, but that's about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gene m Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 Your camera takes 127 size film, not 127 iso speed. You can buy 127 roll film for about $5 a roll (B&W.) Considering the fact that your camera is worth about $10 you have a decision to make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike_elek Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 Greetings. This looks to be a fairly simple camera. One collector lists the Cadet II as being introduced in 1965. The camera apparently has just one shutter speed and two apertures -- neither seems to be marked. I'm going to guess that the red button is the shutter release. The black dial/knob on the bottom is used to wind the film. The camera was sold with a flash unit that attached to the top of the camera. As far as a manual, that might be tough to find. Possibly you might find one in an online auction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
william_smith13 Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 <p>I'm 5 years late in contributing an anaswer, but if stilll looking for a manual, I have a photocopy of it. It's just a folded sheet. Will give it away to who may want it.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

william_smith13 Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 <p>Steve:<br> I have the original now to make another copy. I will email you through this site with my address. Or I could send you a .pdf version of the scan I would do to make a copy, then you could print it out yourself. Look for an email in the next few minutes.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

william_smith13 Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 <p>Unfortunately the hard drive <strong>AND</strong> backup that had the Cadet pdf's got <strong>'fried'</strong> And to make matters worse, a tiny field mouse somehow got into my 3 in 1 machine and chewed some wires and<strong> now my scanner doesn't work</strong>, How do I know a mouse did it? Because when I opened the cover, <strong>a mouse ran out od the back of the machine.</strong> LOL<br> The good news is that I still have the original and will get it scanned at a friend's house, but I don't know when I can get there.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richard_novak Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 <p>Natalie - you can get 127 roll film from B&H.<br> Mr. Smith - could I get a copy of the manual? My email is oldche@yahoo.com, I'm on Flickr with that screen name (OldChE). I don't own the Cadet II any more, but 50 years ago when I was 8, it was my first camera.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
