Floris Vanhoof Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Hi, When making singel frames, the switch lever on the side of my Bolex H16 likes to stay in the P position. I have to give it the switch a little touch to go back to the middle. What to do about this? On my other Bolex, a well working SB, this jumps back to the middle with ease.

Floris Vanhoof Posted July 30, 2021 Author Share Posted July 30, 2021 ps: would it be a good idea to lubricate this switch, without taking the camera apart? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Simon Wyss Posted July 30, 2021 Premium Member Share Posted July 30, 2021 How are you going to lubricate the switchwork that sits inside the housing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Dom Jaeger Posted July 31, 2021 Premium Member Share Posted July 31, 2021 Ideally you would take the mechanism out of the casting to access both the plunger and the switch, as Simon says, but it won’t hurt to try a drop of oil on the plunger shaft and work it in. You might find it doesn’t help though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floris Vanhoof Posted July 31, 2021 Author Share Posted July 31, 2021 Thanks! Is there a tutorial or manual how to take it apart? Otherwise I'll take it to a technician in Brussels next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
