Bolex 18-5 Dual-8 Projector Repair

Recommended Posts

I purchased an 18-5 auto loading Bolex projector on ebay but it got lost in the mail. Maybe it will turn up some time but I did get a refund. There was a missing name-plate on the projector I purchased, so I purchased a second non-auto loading Bolex 18-5 just for the name plate ($13). 

Well, only the parts projector showed up. So, I decided to try and see if the 'parts' projector works, and if not, repair it.

You wrote Dual. There’s no Dual 18-5 projector. The first model, 18-5, is for 8-mm. film, the second model 18-5 L is for Super-8 and Single-8 film. Just saying.

Exactly, the "Dual-8" should be in quotes. It is my designator for those not familiar with the Bolex line of projectors. I'll have them change it.
