Camera Craftsman - January/February 1967

This January/February 1967 issue of Camera Craftsman emphasizes the critical importance of continuous professional development for camera repairmen. Samuel L. Love contributes a significant editorial examining the concept of "retraining": as photographic technology evolves constantly, skilled technicians must regularly update their knowledge to remain current and competitive.

The issue features practical technical content including guidance on electronic power sources for photographic flash equipment and information relevant to veteran repairmen. Notable announcements include the launch of the 425 Club and the availability of the Camera Repairman's Handbook—an essential reference tool for service professionals. Several camera repair seminars scheduled for 1967 are highlighted.

A compelling feature explores specialized photographic applications: the deployment of a 70mm research camera in the TRAP missile tracking program, demonstrating how precision equipment serves advanced military technology. The publication includes a valuable new parts availability guide designed to assist repairmen in sourcing components.

The repAIRcodes training schedule for 1967 is presented alongside practical repair advice. Job listings through the NCRS placement service connect qualified technicians with employment opportunities. National Camera announces its exhibitor presence at the major MPDF (Master Photo Dealers' and Finishers' Association) trade show in Chicago, March 12-16, 1967—the industry's premier event for product showcases, technical discussions, and business networking.
