Hello

So there is somebody left and the lights haven't been turned off. 

Anyway, I've been trying to contact you cats and have not recieved any replies. i need light sealing materials for an older H16 I'm rebuilding. I've purchased parts from one of your agents (Chanbless Cine in Atlanta USA) and I was informed light seal materials are no longer made for older cameras. Do you have a substitute? Is it possible to use other materials? 

While we're at it, does the camera take special oils and greases? Can you use a light teflon based grease? Can you use a light 20w non detergent oil? If these are unacceptable, what do you recommend and do you sell them.

Also, I hope you guys finish your website. I know these times have been frustrating, but we really want to see Bolex up and running so we can keep your beautiful cameras running.

Look forward to hearing from you

The legendary and humble Jaakko Kurhi happens to live about 45 minutes drive from me. I have taken him a couple of Bolex' for maintenance, and one of his old Animation Controllers for repair, but recently he told me that he is officially retired. He leaves his site up "for informational purposes" as he says.

He let me take this photo of him in 2018 when I brought in a camera. At the time he was working on an optical printer using some of his remaining parts stock:

So sadly, that's one less bonafied Bolex expert available to the world.
