What it is
{"overview":"The Bolex H16 EMB Electric is a 16mm motion-picture camera in the Swiss-built H16 reflex line, fitted with an electric motor drive. Buyers searching for what a Bolex H16 EMB is worth today should treat the upper figure as lens- and outfit-inclusive rather than body-only.","buying_guide":"Inspect the electric motor for smooth, constant-speed running and check the battery\/power connection, as period-correct power supplies are increasingly scarce. Examine the reflex viewfinder prism for haze or separation, confirm the claw and pressure plate are clean, and run film through both forward and any rewind functions if possible.

Questions
What affects the value of a Bolex H16 EMB Electric most?
