something like 6 rollers in total??? where are they?

Not if there is still some crank remaining or the shutter is closed.

Get a REX 4 it has a 10X viewer... and lighter than REX5

No Problem... that's a service We'll be adding this year 2021... by 1st quarter.

Thanks Steven... that's what I wanna know...

OK camera techs...

What needs to be done to a 400 ft Bolex mag  to make it super 16 compliant ???

Yes, I've talked to them about that one...

Anybody know of any video tap available for Bolex?

does it involve re-centering the lens just like the Super 16?

- Webster

No it does not require recentering the lens.

Dr. Bolex is still accepting mail-in orders... for conversions or maintenance support.

I gotten request to show a picture through the viewfinder... it is register to match the GATE.

Pictures???

The Premier BOLEX repair shop is still taking mail-in orders...

Visit us at: DrBolex.com

It probably may have been knocked out of place in shipping.... (like that never happens)... a SPANNER tool is what is needed to access a good grip on those nuts. those are available at a full service tool/hardware store. you want to adjust till you have an equal black area around the image. while you're at the tool/hardware store get a little ounce bottle of model car paint to apply to the nuts you adjusted to lock them down. Then with compressed air gently blow out dust a flacks of paint loose in the viewfinder.

Good Luck!

Hello David and Thomas...

Please contact me direct through my website: drbolex.com

Lets see where we can get with optics.

Arthur!

YES! it is absolutely possible to get a super16 Bolex camera is good running condition. From Doctor Bolex! ... a fully converted H16 REX or REX1 with masks and viewfinder converted too. You can add upgrades such as 10X or 13X optics and those get expensive. The 6X viewfinder has been modified optics that make the image appear larger. we'll also convert your came. Visit the website.

Hello Thomas,

Optics... I've come to the conclusion the it's simple VooDoo black magic... An understanding of the principles of light is essential.

I've found that it is a well kept secret, as I've yet to find a person that can do my optics. This is an early Ver. 1 of this attempt.

Do you do Optics?

try this

Using 16mm film... Do anyone use any other format besides 16mm and Super16mm? I know there are others... But am I wrong in saying Super16mm is the most popular?

Come visit us at our revised website:   drbolex.com

Thanks...

Arthur!

Okay... Here's a conversion to 200' film loads

Tyler Thank you so much...

I found an UGLY EBM that runs great ...so my solution is to swap out the entire electrical short of the motor and see what happens.

some how i doubt the motor lost it's mind. BUT we'll see

Again Thanks Tyler!

OK... took a dive inside and found no other fuse.

So a simple fix would be: just swap out ALL entire internal wiring - boards and all.

Thanks Tyler...

Yep tried all that... this is the way it cam to me... I've been using my trusty 12V power pak that I know is 12VDC to test it.

BUT!... isn't there another fuse inside??? not the one in the base...

It seems to have blown something . . .

Does the speed switch fall into place when you put it to the different speeds?

Yes.. it clicks into position just like normal....
