Hey all, So I’m looking to use a 400ft magazine on my Bolex EBM this weekend and the only piece I’m missing is the 2 rollers that go inside the camera body and guide the film back into the magazine. Wondering if it is possible to use empty 100ft spools in place of these rollers? Any insight or experience would be greatly appreciated!

I recently purchased a Kern Switar 10mm f1.4 lens, which appears to be in good condition, for use on my Bolex EBM with a c mount adapter. However, when mounting this lens I encountered a strange problem where it would only focus at extremely close distances and leaves the rest out of focus. Seems like this lens is not in such great shape after all but wondering if anyone knows a fix? Thanks for any help!

How to get and test power on my Bolex EBM?
Jordan Langmore replied to Jordan Langmore's topic in Bolex
I found out how to check the polarity and got the camera up and running. Thanks dude… -
I recently picked up a Bolex EBM that a friend had had sitting in storage for a few decades. All the pieces seem to be together and carefully stored and kept (pictured below). The 2 cell batteries I have seem to go with the power grip. The issue is I don’t know which end is positive and which is negative and I’ve heard using the wrong end can blow the fuse. I’m wondering how to best test the camera’s electronics with the equipment I have? There is a charger and multiple power sources but I’m unsure of how to safely use and test any of it. As mentioned, the equipment has supposedly been well maintained and used very lightly. I’m unsure, however, if deterioration may have occurred with time and if I should invest in repairs and new parts. Anyone have any insights? Any help would be immensely appreciated

A test roll shot on a Krasnogorsk-3 had the problem pictured in the attached images. The first 10s came out fine but then the frame borders disappeared and the image blurred. I determined that this was likely due to a camera slip, in which the pulldown claw and shutter fall out of sync. I found some information on operating on the gate (http://www.k3camera.com/k3/krasnogorsk-3-front.php), but still haven't gotten info on how to repair this particular problem. Does anyone have any knowledge on this procedure? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
