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.

It's a pleasure to watch a skilled craftsman at work which, together with the explicit commentary and the odd flash of dry humour, sets the standard others should strive for. Thank you.

Great and very informative series. Looking at your hands everything seems so easy. We all know that it is not. Thanks 👍

This does nothing for my GAS. I've seen each model from a German seller at a low price as obviously they don't work. Still getting to grips with a magnifyer head band as I had surgery on my right eye. I hate the thing as makes your head sore. I have -6.5 in my left eye and went from -8.5 to -2.5 in my right. I did not buy the kind you use as both lenses are together making it even more difficult to see! I bought a separate magnification for each eye. Oh for the days of putting that tiny spring back in the retina shutters with nothing but my eyes. Of course the surgeon said oh yes we can keep your close vision. His idea of close and mine are poles apart!
