Thanks! im pretty mechanically inclined, i work on antique fusee watches, and really enjoy working on cameras and cine cameras. I do need to find some tools though. But i am willing and eager to learn how to totally CLA a 16s properly and do it figuratively "by the book" ... man i wish i could apprentice under someone.

Yeah, that's what i'm seeing. A few in pretty beat up, well used shape still going for over a grand. I might just stick with the 16S.. but so far i cant find a service manual for that one either.

Hello all, i am looking for a BL to practice repairing as i am interested in learning how to repair the 16s and bl. Looking for a complete camera with lens and mags. Doesn't have to work but id prefer a complete specimen. Help a guy out?

Here are both of my rigs.

must be a nizo thing, the light meter doesnt work on my 6080, and setting it manually makes a horrible squeaking sound.

I called Arri Canada, no dice, they couldn't give me any info at all on it.

Okay, so maybe not totally disassemble it, but just enough so that i can paint the thing. i also have cla'd my own Hasselblad 500 c, cm, and elm, along with a Leica III and a few other cameras in the past, but not a cine cam. No, she wont be sitting on the the shelf:P im putting it together piece by piece, i just got a lens, i have film, a battery and a cine 60 belt, mags, a couple matte boxes. I just need a good set of primes and im all set. I am a collector, but i still use all of my cameras. This one is going to be fun to shoot.

i repainted my lens shade yesterday with some wrinkle paint and really like how it turned out. The texture looks just like the paint that came on the Arriflex 16s bodies. If a guy were interested in repainting 2 16s bodies, what tools are needed to totally strip the things down to the case, same with the lid. Everything out the outside looks like 2 hole tamper proof bolts, Maybe somebody here that has done it can chime in, would really appreciate it, thanks! Somebody also rigged up a lock for the lid, drilling holes in the cover in the process.i want to remove that too and fill in the holes.

ohh okay mine is not like that. mine has an arri 60hz pilot tone generator sticking on the side, has a spot on the bottom by the tri pod mount for a lamp, and had a clear plastic dome on the top by the hand grip. Must have misread the description on another post. and my pic didnt post for some reason

here's one for now, it's all I have right now as I'm at work. I'll post more tonight

I was wondering if somebody could run a serial number for me to see how old, and which version i have, serial is 13641, i believe it to be a gs model, but it doesn't have a bayonet mount.

Yeah 16mm sorry. i saw a few on eBay, but even in the condition they're in, they seem to be up there in price. ive got film, and cameras! but no lenses

hey all, second post here. i recently acquired 2 Arri st bodies and accessories, but no lenses! i'm looking for something basic and affordable just to cover the hole and try it out. not too sure if i'm looking in the right place here, so i apologize in advance. Cheers!
