I NEED THE LIGHT METER BATTERY AND THE ZOOM CONTROL BATTERIES FOR MY BOLEX P3. CAN YOU HELP?

A customer writes, " I need the light meter battery and the zoom control batteries for my Bolex P3. Can you help?

Yes. We have the P3 cap $12.00 postpaid, USA. It also fits the P1 and P2.

The light meter battery: Mallory HG450r, RM450, etc, are no longer manufactured as they contained mercury.

We sell a replacement light meter kit consisting of a custom machined spacer,  battery of the same voltage as original, and installation instructions.

There is also an additional instruction sheet showing how to check and adjust a "sagging" battery well contact spring.

Installation is a drop in fit. No modifications or adjustments. Leave it in the camera. Lasts 1-2 years. Replacement batteries are available everywhere.

The battery kit is at bottom of page. 

To order please contact me and I'll send payment instructions.

ZOOM BATTERIES
The Mallory ZM-1 or RM-1 batteries are no longer made or available but there is a replacement battery:  PX01 - 1.5 Volt. Alkaline construction, same as, LR50, V1ALK, etc. These are available from Amazon: 

PX01 REPLACEMENT BATTERIES 

Alkaline batteries are not rechargeable. Also sold in other places. Here is a link to search Google for more locations including those outside the USA: 

PX01 BATTERIES  SEARCH LINK ON GOOGLE 

PX01 batteries were used in several models of the Bolex 8mm reflex cameras. The don't last long if you use them in the P3's zoom.

I would consider the battery cost plus shipping and buy at least several sets.
