Camera Craftsman - March/April 1969
This March-April 1969 issue of Camera Craftsman, Volume 15 Number 2, delivers an in-depth analysis of parts and repair profitability for technicians. The lead article « A Point to Ponder » by Samuel L. Love addresses strategic spare parts inventory management, distinguishing between regularly-failing components that should be stocked and accident-related failures that warrant on-demand ordering. This practical approach helps repair shops optimize costs and service turnaround times. The issue also features National Camera publications on focal-plane shutters, including a completely revised manual on the Leica IIIF enriched with 99 detailed illustrations and comprehensive repair procedures. A technical section explains focal-plane shutter mechanisms with step-by-step disassembly instructions. Regular departments include BPT service notes, a technical forum, and announcement of regional workshops launched in Denver in 1969. Tools and products highlighted include a metric tap and die set for camera technicians. A « Change of Pace » feature provides a lighter moment with a portrait of a repair student enjoying a ski vacation.
