- Servicing the Synchro-Compur shutter from a Kodak Retina IIc camera.
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.
VERY VERY GOOD VIDEO MY COMPLIMENTS
Hello Chris, saw that you are back on UA-cam with more great videos. Made me very happy. I got a Retinette 1B as a confirmation gift a very long time ago. I had it for many years and really loved that camera. Now I want to try to take a look at a Retina IIc that needs some attention. I´ll be doing this for sentimental reasons and to learn. Watching your videos is a big part of the preparation. Some of them I´ve watched over and over again. They are always excellent, clear, informative and entertaining. BTW, you say somewhere that there are dimensions of your lens removal tool on your website. I haven´t been able to find this information yet. Can you help? I would be very grateful. Best regards and big thanks for your great work, Valdimar
Found it! Google never fails.
Hi Chris, just taking my first Compur shutter apart, it's quite scary wondering how everything works, and how you are going to remember where everything goes, how did you feel when you first started,??? Kindest regards John Moore.
I suppose it seemed daunting at the time, but this would have been fifty years ago, and I don't really remember now.
