Restoring a rough and corroded eighty-seven year-old Kodak Retina type 119 camera to full working order, continued. Stripping down and servicing the Compur-Rapid shutter.
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.

Tomorrows one is a bit unconventional.

Great job! Crazy to see such a beautiful finished product considering what the state of it was prior. I don't even own one of these cameras but I believe that this was still an educating and entertaining series to watch. Fantastic job Chris

That ugly duckling turned out rather "handsome" after all that work. 👍

Hi Chris, I`m enjoying your videos a lot. Any chances you do the same with some Yashica TLR cameras? I would love to see some of them thoroughly cleaned like you did with 35mm cameras in the past.

Not unless I fell over a very cheap example, sorry.
