Thank you Häakon,

it has cleared some misleading explanations from others :devil:

Here is one great explanation from the man himself:

I'm sure it's not only me that's curious about how the footage looked or what exactly you shot with the bread box.

Serial #1-25

Have you come up " new names for the Serial # 26-50 ?
May be Mars or Venus if there are not so many well known countries on earth.

We only named our alpha, beta & pre-production cameras. The serial numbered customers cameras have no names (from RED, some 1-50 owners have named theirs though)

 

[Jeremy Hughes]

No, that was "Frankie" if I'm not mistaken...

Jim's list said that Frankie was made in the summer. And it's clear now that it's not the bread box.

Was it a non-operational model?

Really...

Toronto is not on the list of names only Montreal. Hence,
