What a mechanical monster the insides are!! I have never seen a camera with so many moving parts!!! I'm so glad there are people like you out there keeping these old cameras alive! Thank you!!

[@FixOldCameras]

Yes indeed. Aptly described!

[@Stephen.C.]

A few gears in there. Good job, and good to see you still on KZbin.

[@FixOldCameras]

Thank you for your interest in FOC. Should have another post showing up sooner than later. But then again...maybe not. Either way your patience is appreciated.

Wow, very cool to see the inside of my camera. Also, thanks for doing what you do! Got my camera back yesterday and excited to put a roll through it this weekend.

Would Loctite or some fingernail polish on the threads or painted on the heads/mounting plate be a good preventative measure to think about when tightening the viewfinder screws? Same for the guide screw?

[@FixOldCameras]

Blue Loctite would be perfect.

[@jacobdipietro375]

I fear I'm going to need to tackle this process as well soon got the wobbles 😢

[@FixOldCameras]

Uh Oh. Do not wait long as you would not want the screws to work free and lodge somewhere as to lock up the mechanisms.

[@jacobdipietro375]

@@FixOldCameras I dunno if it's something I want to take on or not yet.

[@jacobdipietro375]

​@@FixOldCameras finally pulled apart the 645 over the weekend and got the viewfinder screws tightened up. Luckily I didn't have to search the camera for them.
