Jigs for Bolex H8 Rex cameras

Post by JeremyC »

Hi,

I'm wondering if anyone can tell me where I might obtain adjustment jigs/tools for Bolex H8/H16 cameras. I have three H8 Rex bodies and using a maintenance manual I have been teaching myself how to dismantle one of the bodies for my own use. As an engineer I have been able to figure out alternatives to some of the jigs needed but there are a couple of adjustments for which I haven't figured out a replacement or what the specs on the particular adjustment actually are.

This is a fairly obscure question but if anyone can point me in a direction I would be grateful.

(BTW, lest you read this and think I am diving in over my head I spent over 10 years maintaining broadcast cameras for on-air work and so am used to working on things like optics blocks with sensors where you are dealing with mechanically and electronically intricate and interactive systems contained in a small space.)
