Bolex 16/32/1.5x - Performing Maintenance or sending in for maintenance

[Nocturnes]

Hey, all, was curious on if anyone knows if it is easy enough to open and clean barrels of the bolex 16/32/1.5x or if there is someone that  specializes in it hopefully in US to ship it to?

 

Thanks

Yeah, I shipped my Bolex 8/19/1.5 to Bernie at super16inc.com in New York.

It came back in good shape.

Thanks for the reply, do you by chance know the ETA of return time?

bernie is  a great man and a fine old school  movie film camera and lens  repair guy.

he has rebuilt more bolex moller than anyone alive today  more than 6 just from me.

he is quicker than all the big companies around the bolex moller is treasure the grease needs replacing and he can tune up the x y alignment.

 

what can delay things is sometimes retention lock screws can get seized up so they need to be worked loose over time.

sending something like moller to a regular  repair guy is a sick idea .

some of my lens  i had where  owner damage  or attempted repair  3 where in pieces  all where rebuilt in less than  a month from scrap  bits and bobs to lovely usable condition.

 

bernie and his wife can answer any of your questions by email or telephone

Hey - sorry for the late reply. I think it took about two weeks in total (from L.A.)
