Premium Member Simon Wyss Posted August 12, 2021 Premium Member Share Posted August 12, 2021 What do you mean by overwound? You can’t overwind the mainspring of a Paillard-Bolex B 8. There are gears that limit the number of revolutions of the wind key. I suspect something else is the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hans Klint Posted August 12, 2021 Author Share Posted August 12, 2021 Ok, Thanks Simon. thought that that was what happened. It does not run when I "push the trigger". Can I easily get inside to reach the releasemechanism? 2 hours ago, Simon Wyss said: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Dom Jaeger Posted August 12, 2021 Premium Member Share Posted August 12, 2021 Have a look at this disassembly guide, it’s the same mechanism: http://cinetinker.blogspot.com/2013/01/servicing-bolex-d8l.html Be careful if something is jamming the release, a wound spring may suddenly unwind with great force.
