Timothy Fransky Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 I got a Bell and Howell 627 today. It came with the original 20mm Super Comat lens as well as a Taylor Hobson 2.8" f2.8 telekinic. It looks like it was never used. The take up spool is missing, but they're easily found. I'm excited about it anyway. I just had a question about the clockwork spring. I read somewhere that Bolexes should be fully wound between uses. I may have misremembered. Is there a standard MO for preserving spring life? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Dom Jaeger Posted September 27, 2018 Premium Member Share Posted September 27, 2018 It's the opposite, spring motors should be stored wound down. It really only matters for long term storage, but it's probably a good habit to run down the spring motor between shoots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
