Bolex Oilster Eventual [MM06]

Gentle reader,

A Florida Bolex. Seller states the batteries seem to run forever and it seems to be gold plated.

Buy it now for $200 before the report I filed gets it pulled.

Respectfully,

Mr. Manners

...on the GMT. It is located under the balance wheel, next to the canon-pinion. Be VERY careful removing the balance bridge.

...once the bridge and balance are removed, it is a basically straight forward project to replace the battery
