For Aaton, I would try Alan Giles of Camera Engineering in the U.K. He was the best and dealt with my old Aaton (Ser# C-322) and did amazing work with it. I know he had the old boards done (he has an electronics wizard who found the blown components.) He also used to manufacture many wonderful accessories. I don't know if he is still working on Aatons, but he was the guy.
For Bolex, I believe Chambliss is still around, You might want to check my classic camera page which has links. http://www.gladstonefilms.com/Classiccameras.html Best On 10/18/11 10:28 PM, ccr...@ithaca.edu wrote: > hello frameworkers, > in an effort to keep 16mm and the use of the bolex > and aaton cameras alive at our institution, i am looking > for any recommendations you have for other repair > folks that would like to sign on our school account. > is it true that both pro cam and chambless are winding > down their repair work because of retirement?! we have 30 > cameras, 4 replacement spring motors and will > need to replenish both supplies in the coming > couple years. we also need someone (besides abel > cinetech) who can help us with the electronics > on our aatonLTRs. any and all recommendations welcome. > i need artillery to counter support staff insurgency. > many, many thanks, > cathy ilman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks -- Steven Gladstone New York Based Cinematographer Gladstone films Blog - http://indiekicker.reelgrok.com/ http://www.blakehousemovie.com http://www.gladstonefilms.com 917-886-5858 _______________________________________________ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks
