Kodak Retina IIIS camera repair, servicing three cameras, part 01

Here I will go through the process of stripping down and servicing the Kodak Retina IIIS camera. These videos cover three examples, one early production, the other two from mid-production. There should be a good selection of problems. You can find a copy of the service manual here. https://retinarescue.com/files/Retina... Consumables used servicing camera bodies: I use naphtha (cigarette lighter fluid) for cleaning metal parts. CRC Heavy Duty Lectra Clean for dried grease that the naphtha won’t dissolve. A generic wax and grease remover to soak mechanical parts prior to cleaning in an ultrasonic cleaner. Glass cleaned with normal domestic glass cleaner. Parts are lubricated with Inox MX6 (a synthetic grease), Rocol Dry Molybdenum paste, MicroLubrol Helimax XP helicoid grease, graphite powder, or graphite grease as needed. Leatherettes are glued back with Ados F2 adhesive. Consumables used servicing shutter and lens assemblies: Naphtha (cigarette lighter fluid), or occasionally CRC Heavy Duty Lectraclean. Lenses cleaned with normal domestic glass cleaner. Parts are lubricated Rocol Dry Molybdenum paste, MicroLubrol Helimax XP helicoid grease, graphite powder, or graphite grease as needed.
