An unwanted gift, part 03
I was given this ugly Retinette 1A by a well-meaning friend. I need another one of these just like I need another hole in my head. Well, what are you going to do? I will have to do something useful with it I suppose. You can find the playlist of tools I frequently use here. • Camera repair tools I use. 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.
