Pricing for those were cheap as it was missing parts and used. Let's pray and hope the price will be under $200 each. Again a guesstimate from out of the blue. I would ask him to build us a dozen of more. We can leave out the batteries and find a way to fill up that empty power connection box area.

I think with just the shell of the leather people would be happy, so lets see how the first one goes, and then run him over later for a doz or so once he gets back on his feet from the first belt I bet he has made in 15 + years.
Again a GREAT find William

It was your informative website combined with Jim's WeGottaFindEarth which pique our interest to find who was G&M :shock: At least we found the G part. Now someone need to locate the M portion.

Hi just got the G&M camera belt yesterday. Screen accurate with 7 sections. Per our email yesterday, Gideon may be making more belts. It will take some months. Nothing set in stone yet. Pricing have not been finalized. When more info becomes avail we will post it here.

PICS of our old G&M camera belt with a new custom leather belt.

FYI price was wrong for the G&M belt with the new custom leather belt installed. We paid $150 + $12 UPS Ground shipping. $162 TOTAL. Not bad at all. He even included a plastic tray to fill out the empty power pack area along with 7 battery cell trays.

That is way cool, and a great price. Hope your able to convince him to pull himself out of retirement and fill his calling of making some belts.

If needed i shall make the invesment first by ordering 20 qty to make it happen. Just to get the ball rolling. If no one buy them here they will ALL go on eBay :twisted: We will make them avail here first and the remainders can go into our eBay Store for big $$$ maybe.

Just got off the phone with Gideon. We are still far away from have new ones for sale. They are on the horizon but as to when we don't have an answer. We may order 12 qty depending on the wholesale pricing. If demands warrants it i would order 100 qty. KIT
