I have a Bolex P3 that had a defect to the motor shaft, did not allow the single-frame-shot because you do not "stretched" at best; by inserting a small spacer. Then, i solved a non-optimal contact between the batteries and the power zoom batteries contacts; now it works fine.
I'am left with only the problem of the exposure broken, despite having tried both with a zinc air battery with "official" adapter, both with a Wein 1.35v and improvised adapter, type foil, etc.. I also tried to open the camera and replace the small bottom of the battery compartment (taken from another P3) re-soldering the wires to the pond, and i changed upon the little chip that it's attached to the battery leads (but should not be the cell of exposure, but another thing), also took this from another P3. Nothing, needle don't move, stopped. Surely in this forum ther are an experts in mechanical of Bolex, ask for help, even if i use an external Sekonic, i'd like to use the internal lightmeter. Thank you.
