Hello everyone,
Does anyone have a Metorette 8006/Jonco Filmrunner?
Does anyone know about spare parts, or still have contacts with the old service technicians?
Many thanks
Best regards

Hi Trayloader,
The manufacturer of the Filmrunner was:
Jonco Photo Graphic Equipment
De Grutto 73
NL-7609 DD Almelo
0546-538408
I once asked them (years ago – around 2006?) about spare parts (developing drum etc.) – they said they had nothing left. I received similar news from Meteor Siegen (now a ‘different’ company).
Happy photography!
Pitt
PS: Oh yes, owning a Jonco puts you in rather special company: even George Bush had one, as the advertising leaflet emphasised at the time!

Hi Pitt,
thanks for dropping by—
sure, I’m familiar with the addresses mentioned above, but they’re no longer up to date. Jonco’s founder/chief technician/inventor/sales manager/one-man show has sadly passed away,
and Meteor Siegen has closed down.
Apparently, there was a chief technician called Uli Becker at the time, who carried on the business and had spare parts.
Perhaps someone else knows more.
