How old is the Bescor belt? It may need recelling. I know Bescor makes
those belts that have a builtin output cable, which is usually kindof
skimpy compared to a four pin xlr type cable, so it could be cable damage.

NiCad batteries sometimes indicate a full charge and then suffer from lack
of power if they are methodically discharged. Those batteries are best not
used only a little bit at a time (100ft roll, for instace) and then fully
recharged. They begin to develope very short charge life when that happens.
Not sure what your process is but sometimes a NiCad in decent shape can
become "lazy" very quickly from this.

Best test is to try your camera with another power source to make sure it
isn't the Bolex. Good luck.
