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.

I wish that you would find a first version Retina Reflex with cocking issues as your original lesson didn't go into that, and excuse the pun but I don't want to ____ it up.
The problem is when advancing the film the shutter is opened and exposes the film so all is lost on that section of film.
Thanks anyway, at least when mine is working it is fun to use, 8x10 images are fine when using Kodak Tmax.

OK, I'll think about that. I doubt it has anything to do with the cocking rack, and there may be serious problems to be dealt with.

@ChrisSherlock OK thanks for your thoughts i don't think it is the cocking rack either as the film is advancing but it opens the shutter to expose the film but not always. An adjustment I guess but I'm not sure what to adjust.

G'day Peter, that camera needs to have the shutter and the parts behind it serviced. I have two different playlists of videos where I service a type 025 Retina Reflex. You should check these.

@ChrisSherlock Thank you Chris. I'll give them a viewing and see if I can resolve the issue. That is very kind of you to respond as I would like to use this camera.
