CANON - Canon FT TL Service

Comprehensive service manual for the Canon FT QL and Canon TL rangefinder cameras, covering complete repair and maintenance procedures for these classic SLR models. This workshop manual features full exploded-view diagrams that allow precise identification of every component and subassembly throughout the camera body. Exhaustive parts lists with exact part numbers enable accurate ordering and replacement of components. Detailed sections address disassembly and reassembly of all major mechanisms, including the shutter release and charging system, variable-speed focal-plane shutter, film advance and rewind mechanisms, film counter assembly, and exposure meter circuitry. Electrical schematics and exposure meter wiring diagrams support diagnosis and repair of electrical faults. Each section provides precise technical specifications, step-by-step disassembly procedures with cross-referenced diagrams, and calibration adjustment methods. A comprehensive parts index cross-references all component numbers to their corresponding manual pages, making this an essential troubleshooting guide for repair technicians specializing in vintage rangefinder cameras. Original first printing from February 1968. The manual also covers the Canon TL model variant, which shares the same mechanical foundation as the FT QL, with cross-references to the main FT service manual for shared components and repair procedures.
