You should not pack it away with winds on the motor anyway.
Absolutely true.
I would like your opinion on something. Please see the below video I uploaded to RUclips. My Bolex B8 has an issue where sometimes, every 10 or so seconds a horizontal blip of bright light appears in the frame. I don't think it has to do with the video transfer, because I use the same company to video transfer movies filmed using my other camera (Bolex B8LA) and don't get that problem with the transfers for that other camera. I have had the film for my Bolex B8 developed by two different companies and the results are both the same - still these blips of bright light. Thus, I don't think it is the film developer that is the issue. I have tried other lenses in the past with my Bolex B8 and I also still get the issue with the other lenses, so don't think the issue is the lens.
The blips of bright light happen at these time marks in the video:
1 second
12 second
15 second
24 second

Do you have any ideas what might be causing this?
Hi @generaljohnson,
I could give you several videos on why this issue is possible. The best solution is to get the Bolex a new full CLA unless this has already been done. I've seen this problem before in Bolex 8mm pocket models and it turns up in different ways. The following videos are what you can or might be able to perform yourself before shipping the camera off to a technician. Make sure in the video to clean the pressure plate very well. *Any mistakes made on your camera and or person in any attempt to repair it are on you*

Upon that you want to go deeper into your Bolex camera here's a video. This will show where to lubricate. *The Bolex in this video is a different model but they all really are constructed and operate the same. ⚠️Make sure to fully wind down the Bolex spring motor before dismantling. Otherwise it'll unwind and snap to a stop becoming broken.⚠️

You could check the rubber roller and make sure it's clean and undamaged. Here's a video on that. But it seems to me this issue could be in the take-up spindle or claw. This is why it's just best to get a new full CLA if your Bolex has just been purchased. And or if it's never had a CLA in your ownership.
