A Retina IIa camera with multiple introduced problems, part 07
This camera apparently last worked about thirty years ago, or so I was told. No mention was made of how it came to be in that state. I expected to find the usual problems of old-age, but there was more to it than that, as I found out soon enough. 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.
