I just recently purchased this Bolex H16 EBM Electric camera and am still new to this all, so I would like to apologize if I sound incredibly naive. The internal spools, once fitted with the battery at the base of the camera, will not move when the electric motor is turned on. The hank crank for the camera works perfectly fine and allows the internal mechanisms of the camera to work. Perhaps there is a simple anwser to this that I am completely oblivious to or there is something seriously wrong with the camera itself. I would greatly appreciate any help anyone can give. Thank you in advance.
