Eric McCammond Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 I have a Keystone K25 Capri. It seems to work reasonably well though I only get a tad over 20 seconds on a full motor wind. I'm not sure what is normal. I'd like to open it up to clean/lubricate it but can't seem to find any information on anyone actually doing this. Does anyone know of any website, video, etc. that shows how to open a K25 up or a camera similar to it? Also, if anyone can share experience regarding the typical run time of a full motor wind, I would appreciate it. Thanks! Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joerg Polzfusz Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Hi! According to the manual, the „Quarz Zoom DS8-3“ only runs for approximately 30s at 18fps when fully wound. So, depending on your frame-rate and given that the keystone is older, 20s could be normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Baumgarten Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 Hi, I own a couple of Keystone Double 8mm cameras and the one you have is one of them. They all only run for about 20 to 30 seconds and the owner's manual also states this. This is quite common for the majority of USA built Double 8mm movie cameras from that era, same for my Revere cameras, and even the Bolex cameras of the 50s only have a similar run time.
