Inside a Bell & Howell Eyemo

[Dom Jaeger]

I've just finished documenting the complete strip down of a Bell & Howell 35mm Eyemo:

Very similar mechanically to a 16mm 70 series Filmo.

 

These cameras have an uncased spring, so they can be very dangerous to dismantle. Personally I wouldn't recommend inexperienced people doing anything more than removing the front. But I figure if people are going to try it they're better off having some idea of what's inside.

a lot of effor there in putting that detailed explanation together (not to mention being able to service the things as well!). great work.

Top notch as usual, Dom. Very nicely presented.

 

Cheers,

Very nicely done Dom.

 

I've only repaired the odd B&H Filmo, so it's interesting to see how similar the Eyemo actually is.

Thanks to everyone for the kind words.
