Jon Ungar Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Hi- I was wondering if someone could answer a ? i have about a 400 ft magazine to use with a bolex ebm. Do I need to have the mm motor for it to work, or will it do fine without it using the built in electric motor on the camera. That way all I'd need to purchase to use 400' reels is the magazine? I appreciate the help, thanks :) jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or by visiting the link below: Bolex EBM, and 400 ft magazine manuals in PDF form -Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate the help, thanks :) jon All bolex magazines use an external motor to drive the film stock. Both motors (Cam and Mag) use the camera's battery not the camera's motor. You can find the motors fairly cheep on ebay to use or get spairs. Also I should point out that the motors are detachable so If you just have one motor it can be switched to whatever magazine you are loading. Hope that helps Kip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
