Nocturnes Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Hey, all, was curious on if anyone knows if it is easy enough to open and clean barrels of the bolex 16/32/1.5x or if there is someone that specializes in it hopefully in US to ship it to? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roccoforte Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Yeah, I shipped my Bolex 8/19/1.5 to Bernie at super16inc.com in New York. It came back in good shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony wilson Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 bernie is a great man and a fine old school movie film camera and lens repair guy. he has rebuilt more bolex moller than anyone alive today more than 6 just from me. he is quicker than all the big companies around the bolex moller is treasure the grease needs replacing and he can tune up the x y alignment. what can delay things is sometimes retention lock screws can get seized up so they need to be worked loose over time. sending something like moller to a regular repair guy is a sick idea . some of my lens i had where owner damage or attempted repair 3 where in pieces all where rebuilt in less than a month from scrap bits and bobs to lovely usable condition. bernie and his wife can answer any of your questions by email or telephone Rudolf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roccoforte Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Hey - sorry for the late reply. I think it took about two weeks in total (from L.A.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
