Hello I’m new here!
Have some questions on a Bolex non reflex h16 camera i recently purchased.
Camera had been running great and seemed to be in great clean conditions. Bought only the body in hopes of slowly building it up to one day filming with it. But recently it fell from a 3 foot shelf onto the floor. Everything seems to be intact and the motor still seems to be running after turning the arm. However, i feel like its a bit slower now. Even though after turning the arm, it runs all 30sec on 24fps towards the end it seems to slow down. I’m pretty sure the camera should be at a constant speed when on 24fps and 60fps. That’s why i feel like the camera is probably in need of repair and I’m not crazy lol. So my question is this issue probably due to internal damage? Is it even damaged ? And also does anyone have any good recommendations for a repair shop for these old cameras. I have contacted a few places and they’ve given me quotes.
At the moment I’m considering the fact in saving up to getting repaired, I’m not giving up on this little guy so easily. But do ya’ll think its even worth it or should i look into getting a newer one.
Any advise is appreciated thank you!
