Madison,

I got a couple Beaulieu R-16s serviced a few years ago by Jesse
Chambless at Chambless Cine. He's in semi-retirement & doesn't have a
phone number, but he does seem to respond to emails (& faxes)
relatively quickly:

It wasn't cheap though. Not sure how much you love this Beaulieu, but
you could probably pick up a solid reflex Bolex on eBay for what the
repair will run you. (Of course the Bolex is limited by the spring
winding & the dim viewfinder, so there are reasons to love the R-16
still.)

Good luck,
Roger
