That’s was me! I do have an 18-5L, but it was stored improperly for a few years and the paint is peeling and it’s starting to rust. Even the claw is rusty. I also damaged the 2-pin bulb connector after I pried it off when the prongs corroded. It’s been nearly an impossible task to find one of these with the halogen bulb. Most of the ones for sale are the older models with the discontinued and very expensive “spaceman” bulb. I’ll take better care of this Bolex than the one I bought in 1998. Less expensive to buy another one than to have my other one serviced.Originally posted by Barry Fritz View PostLast edited by Dave Bickford; November 11, 2024, 07:03 PM.Comment

Dave, buying this from Barry, who is this forums 18-5 expert, is an insurance that everything works fine and it is a top quality machine. A great buy at that price!Comment

That's good to know!Originally posted by Paul Adsett View Post
Indeed! I paid over $200 for my other one in 1998. I got into a bidding war with someone who wanted it as badly as I did!A great buy at that price!
