New member here. I have a Bolex H8 that seems to work. It has smooth sounding operation with no adverse noises and the film in it moves nicely. I am looking for leads on where to get service for a CLA and freeing up stiff lenses. I've tried Bolex USA and have messaged BolexCCE but the H8 seems to have become orphaned. Any help is appreciated.

Bernie is great on Bolex's here in the USA.

Hi, Greg, I do service on Paillard-Bolex products. Across the pond, aware of that, but in Bolexland. I have a good relationship with Bolex International from whom I can buy spare parts, if necessary. You can also send your camera to them, of course. I give three years warranty on my work. Hourly rate is 90 Swiss francs, always a quote upon inspection of the item, pictures as many as you wish. You will be free to decide what should be done. Have many satisfied customers. I service lenses, too. PM please in case of interest
