TKS - TKS shutter disassembly

Comprehensive illustrated workshop manual for complete disassembly of the Tōsei Kōki TKS focal plane shutter. This detailed service guide walks through the full procedure from removing the focus ring and optical elements through systematic dismantling of the speed cam, self-timer mechanism, and slow speed escapement. The manual emphasizes documenting component positions, flash synchronization port location, and tension spring configurations before removal. You'll find practical troubleshooting analysis of common issues encountered during disassembly, particularly blade sticking caused by debris accumulation and spring fatigue. Step-by-step instructions cover cleaning sliding surfaces, extracting retention fasteners, and clearing the 10-leaf aperture system. Each procedure is supported by close-up photography showing the exact state of mechanisms at every stage, making the complex focal plane shutter design far easier to navigate. The guide includes valuable handling techniques—spring mapping methods and use of protective tools to prevent marking delicate surfaces—that significantly reduce risk of component damage during the disassembly process.
