Bolex S1 (PX 1 Battery?)

Post by gkaplan57 »

Hello; I just bought a Bolex S1 regular 8 camera which is great shape, but I need a battery to use the auto light meter. I saw a listing on the web that says the S1 uses a PX1 battery.

I just wanted to see if anyone has this camera and has used the PX 1 battery with a Bolex S1. Did it give you acurate readings?

Can anybody direct me to a place where I can get more information on camera batteries?

Thanks

Well I think I answered my own question. I found a replacement battery here:

The Bolex S1 takes 2 A1PX 1.5v Alkaline batteries. Can be used as replacement for E1N, PX1, RM1, V1PX. I thought I'd post the info in case somebody does a search for this same info one day.
