I have several of the pocket cameras including B8, C8, D8, P3 etc, and some feel like the winding mechanism could do with lubrication. Is there a simple way to access the spring motor for that purpose, and what type of grease or oil would be required? Thanks for any advice/suggestions.
Alex.

You can find instructions here: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=16261
Haven't tried these out myself, as I only have one Bolex B8 which still runs for about 20-30 seconds with a full wind-up, but it looks like it's worked for others.
Good luck,
Charlie
