There are literally dozens and dozens of different motors for the NPR, everybody and his brother made one. As Jeff says, if you want to shoot synch, you probably want the Alcan. Now, there are some other motors out there that give you crystal control and varying speeds, and some of them that do r

Hi guys, Thanks for the advice... I've tested it with 2 separate batteries, one which was from a rental house so I'm pretty sure it's the motor, not the power source. I don't know how to check the fuse in the motor. I think it's an Aaton motor. I got it in 2012 and it's been running like a dream si

I am late to this discussion but have you checked the power cable and the fuses in the battery and the motor. If the fuse in the motor is blown then the motor has real problems Make sure the motor is getting power first. Sherman > On Feb 19, 2020, at 7:56 AM, mariah garnett wrote: > > Thanks

If you’re in LA try Andree Martin: https://www.amcamera.com/about/ You might also see if Whitehouse AV will tackle it. Which crystal motor do you have? There were many for the NPR — KRYMO, BEALA, Perfectone, Aaton, and several conversions of DC motors like Hafflex. Some will be easier to r

If the problem is the motor, pull the motor and ship it to DuAll or someone that works on those. There is no reason to ship the whole camera if there is a motor issue. (That said, if it's been a decade since the camera has had a PM, it might be a good idea to ship it in for a PM as well). The el

Which motor does it have? I am presuming the motor is the issue? There are probably more different motors available for the NPR than any other camera made. If it's one of the crystal sync motors, the electronics on them aren't hard to work on and most of what goes bad are electrolytic capacitors
