I was hoping to find someone who specializes in Beaulieau service because I have a number of non-working or partial R-16 electric bodies, which I'm hoping have some value to a repair shop for parts that could be bartered against the cost of servicing the clockwork camera.

Hi David,

It is likely your R16 just needs a good CLA. When the shutter mechanism is gummed up, it opposes a huge resistance to the spring motor. 
Once I see what you have, I might be interested in your Beaulieu bits and pieces in exchange for the work.

Cheers,
