Hi Roger, Do you still have your LTR? I'd stick with that before converting a Bolex, but maybe you're looking for something more portable?
I have seen a few Ikonoskop cameras on eBay selling for much less than their new price. You might consider this option... very portable! The Bolex is great for many things, but I've never considered it very steady, and the gate seems to attract more dust and debris than most other cameras I've used. If you're LTR is gone, then consider, as Jeff said, getting a used Aaton XTR or XTRprod, or converting an Eclair NPR to super 16. Les Bosher does this for very reasonable prices, and the Eclair will be steadier than the Bolex. Les will re-center the C mount if you like and you can use some 10mm Switars (later pre-set models) for shooting super 16mm, or purchase some B mount Zeiss primes (I might be selling mine soon).
