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 Lectra Clean. 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.

Chris is a great role model for patience! I would have been well into cursing-and-throwing-things mode the first time that little spring got hooked into the wrong spot on the B lever!

Hi is the first model Retina Reflex similar to this model 3 that you are working on.
Mine has the problem of after winding on the advance the mirror doesn't always stay down so I have to advance the winding again loosing an exposure.
It would be great to see you restore a Retina Reflex first version one day.🤞

The simple answer to that is no, the original Retina Reflex and the Reflex III are entirely different beasts. Look at this playlist ua-cam.com/play/PLDDcV5sY4JWIeaRQhmOjO_45d_RLOO-Wk.html
