When aaton bought what were the remainings of Eclair
International
in 1985, we kindly 'gave' the spare parts to a group
of ex-eclair workers
to help them raise a start-up 'NPR & ACL spare parts
and maintenance' co.
But after a while this group faded away too because
of the lack
of a sufficient customer base.
A reliable source could be Bernard Dechaumel,
through his brother Michel Dechaumel (a founder of
the
ex-Eclair spare parts providing co.), he has access
to some
spares left aside after the disappearence of the co.
Bernard started his career as an Eclair
manufacturing tech in Paris,
he then came to Aaton Grenoble to run our
maintenance shop,
twenty year after he went back to Paris to run his
own
one-man ACL repair shop. Because of lack of acl
customers he is now an employee of a camera rental
company.
Contact him at Planning Camera 01 4521 8944,
to see if he can spare some of his week-end time
for you.
Good luck for your ACL revival effort!
