This Bolex H16 EBM has been very lightly used and is in very good shape. It comes with a hard aluminum case, two motors [for optional magazine], two power adapters, two eye cups, one filter slide, an adapter for manual zoom, extra PX1 batteries for auto zoom, a filter insert adapter, and two mag adapters [bearings] for spooling using with cores in a magazine.
It also comes with the power hand grip and has functional motorized zoom. Camera supports multiple frame rates and accepts crystal sync input.
The insides/gears are very clean.
This Bolex was donated to me by a high school football club that used it to film games in the 1980's. It has pretty much been sitting in an air-conditioned studio, since then.
The only two negative qualities of this camera are:
1] The battery is old and I don't know if it still holds a charge. [But the AC power works fine, and you can always buy/make new batteries!!]
2] There is minor cosmetic damage to the base of the hand grip. See image. The previous owner tried to tape it up, but didn't do a nice job. This can obviously be cleaned up and patched.
This camera is worth $3000. I am selling for cheaper because I have not used it in a long time--but know it works--and encourage the new owner to get a tune up from http://www.chamblesscineequip.com I just don't have the time or interest in doing that myself...
This will make an excellent animation or Second Unit camera.
I only accept paypal. I estimate packaging and US ground/priority shipping to be about $50, but insurance will be extra, according to USPS or UPS. Will ship for free [except for packaging materials] if you supply a fedex account number.
Please email me with questions!!
Sorry, no returns.
