What it is

With only one data point, today's value is hard to pin down precisely, and condition, completeness and the presence of the original spring motor and a working lens will swing what a Robot Star 50 S sells for in either direction. Inspect the shutter blades for oil, the film transport for smooth advance, and the body for dents around the baseplate where the motor key seats.

Questions

Is the Robot Star 50 S a 35mm camera?

Yes, the Robot Star series uses 35mm film and is known for its clockwork spring-motor drive that allows rapid sequential frames without manual winding.

What should I check before buying one?

Confirm the spring motor winds and runs smoothly, that the shutter fires at all marked speeds, and that the lens is clean and the film transport advances correctly, since servicing these cameras is specialist work.
