Repairs for Spring Wound Cameras


Aaron Martin @ OH

Recommended Posts

Hi -

Now that Super 16 is no longer accepting new work I'm in need of a place to send my spring wound 35mm cameras (Eyemos and DeVrys) for adjustments and repairs. Is anyone aware of any shops that will give bench time to older, fully mechanical cameras?

Thanks,

Aaron

Have you reached out to Visual products and Du-All camera? Those would be my first calls. I know the Eyemo's pretty good, but honestly as a tech, I wouldn't want to go near the spring wound ones because the springs are so fragile and unfortunately, to do any cleaning of the movement requires disassembly. To re-assemble requires the spring to be re-wound, you can't re-assemble otherwise. so it's a tricky process and outside of removing the movement from the front, cleaning and re-assembling, I doubt anyone would have much success re-building the rest of it. Not sure about the DeVry sadly, haven't worked on them.
