    Question

    Can anyone recommend a good resource for 8mm camera repair? The models in need of servicing include a Bolex P1, Carena Zoomex, and Argus Cosina 704. (The Bolex needs a lens colimation; the Carena and Cosina have unresponsive light-meters (possibly due to battery corrosion); and the Carena seems to run too slowly at 16 f.p.s., & too rapidly at 8 & 24 f.p.s.).

    Question

    Hello there,

    I also would very much be interested in knowing of any repair services for a Bolex P1. Also would be interested in knowing if the springs can be fixed or if they need to be replaced once they lose proper tension. If they need replacing can the replacement be found on models other than the P1? The bodies look the same after all. Thanks and happy filming.
