  1. Hi Gregg Thanks for your detailed answer... I'll try to answer as precise as possible. The motor I have is the small 25fps motor. 12V the was measured V during the test (with a regular power supplier system, I did check the poles carefully when connecting. And as I said, the test was without film or magazines. Battery: I got a battery with it, but it needs to be recelled. I only tested for maybe 20 sec, since the orange light was on I stopped. Best, Ans
  2. Mmm, I'll have to keep an eye on eBay maybe. Although I've heard the other motors or becoming rare... Anyhow, l do hope to shoot with this little beast.
  3. Exactly... that feeling :-). To answer your question; the mirror and shutter turn indeed. I didn't test with film yet, also the motor test I performed was without magazine. I guess I'll start with contacting Bernie indeed... A
  4. Hi Heikki, Thanks for the fast reply. I did try the inching knob it turns really smooth en silent... so rather a motor thing? I saw Bernie's name passing by several times... but feel a bit hesitant in shipping overseas... Ans
  5. Hi all I am new on this forum, working with 16mm since a few years. So far I've been working with a Bolex, but I recently got my hands on an Eclair ACL (I). Although the battery doesn't work, I could test the motor. It turns, but it gets hot rather quickly (I gave it 12V, the motor asked for 4A (or +?) and the orange light stayed on. Any tips? And does someone knows a service place in Europe? I think the camera hasn't been used for a while and in any case needs a check-up. I also need a Jaeger-XLR replacement as well as an alternative (lightweight) battery system through an XLR connection. Curious to hear your thoughts, Best Ans
