Servicing a Kodak Retinette IA camera, part 01

[@stork64]

Hooray! What a suprise! Several days ago somebody asked for Retinette 1A repair tutorial and ... here we go! As always, Thank you Chris!

I also say Hooray, as I have a RETINETTE 1A, makes nice Kodak moments. I use it with TMAX of course! The 45mm f2.8 Lens it makes excellent enlargements👌 The only issue is rewinding the film. Thanks Chris for your continuing repair work on these beautiful cameras 📷 👍

I agree, because I asked for a Retinette 1a and my hopes have been answered. Thank you, Chris, I will follow with great interest.😊

Chris, in case I decided to disassemble my Retinette IA using just a single diameter metallic tube with two little horns for the retaining ring, which should be the diameter of the tube, 25mm? 1inch? Thank you.

The retaining ring is 27mm in outside diameter. The film gate is only 24mm wide. Look at these videos for design of a good tool. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZbOcqCYprabpLc and kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y3uZoHehbtNkaas
