Clean, Lubricate and Adjust
(CLA)

CLA means: clean, lubricate and adjust and is meant for cameras that are serviceable and have been typically used to film within the past year or so. CLA is the typical periodic maintenance that needs to be performed every 2 to 3 years as specified by the manufacturer, Bolex, S.A. of Switzerland.

A CLA typically does not require repair to the camera other than minor adjustments. If the camera does not wind smooth or run smooth, such as cameras found on eBay that have NOT been used for up to 50 years, we will service the winding mechanism, the take up reel clutch and the clean the speed regulator. If the camera needs more service, you may need an Extended CLA.

See this link: Excla.htm for more information.
