...there is a possibility to get professional service for your PATHE CAMERAS in Europe.
My PATHE ELECTRONIC DS8 DUOLIGHT was serviced by Valcarenghi Damores, he is I think now the only real PHATE SERVICEMAN offering repair and sevice.
He also bought the hole spare-parts-collection from Mr. Ferarri (Swizerland, former Pathe repair specialist). So if you need a specific part for your camera, maybe you can get it there.
as I know he offers: repair of the duolight light meter system, adjustment
repair of the reflex mirror
recelling of old handle-batteries
lubrication, cleaning, service
and for sure he is the man for all other
"PATHE PROBLEMS"
I would say prices for servic and repair are realy fair!!!

note: Mr. Valcarenghi is a realy friendly man, but he is speaking italian, and just little english, he is translating the english mail via an automatic translationsoftware, or somtimes his son is helping him to translate, so best is keep sentences simple as possible, and bring the problem to a point. but its not a big problem to do a proper conversation, because he is an expert, a lot of pathe problems are always the same, so he is well experienced.
...bring your PATHE CAMERA back to life
