KODAK - Kodak Medalist Backs Service

This Kodak service bulletin provides comprehensive instructions for installing and adjusting the Accessory Back designed for Kodak Medalist I and II cameras. The document details the complete adjustment procedure for this precision component, essential for achieving proper focus and viewfinder alignment. Setup steps include removing the standard camera back, attaching the Accessory Back with its hinge pins securely locked in the camera case hinges, and performing meticulous adjustments of four headless screws using a jeweler's screwdriver. Particular emphasis is placed on spacer frame corner adjustment, employing a paper-calibration method to achieve exact tension at each location. The guide also covers the verification procedure using the ground glass panel, including detailed instructions for using the range finder and cable release mechanism. Annotated photographs illustrate critical components including the ground glass panel latch mechanism, hinge assembly, and overall Accessory Back configuration. An important note indicates that the back requires readjustment when transferred to a different camera body. Reference number S.M. No. 1-2370-1.
