ASAHI PENTAX 6×7 Complete Documentation
by PENTAXComprehensive service manual for troubleshooting and repairing stuck mirror faults on Pentax 6x7 and 67 medium format cameras. This detailed repair guide addresses the persistent problem of mirror jamming in the raised position after shutter release. The workshop manual explains the primary causes—particularly excessive magnetization of the shutter holding magnet—and provides step-by-step repair procedures for safely accessing internal components. Includes a detailed disassembly diagram with clearly marked zones for removing lateral covers and camera body panels, accompanied by explanatory photographs showing critical screws and fastening points. Key sections cover safe removal of protective covers, specialized cleaning procedures for the magnet and electrical contacts using recommended products, and functional testing following repair work. Safety precautions are emphasized throughout, and an extensive troubleshooting guide addresses common assembly challenges, screw location variations across model variants, and alternative repair solutions if initial contact cleaning proves ineffective. Preventive maintenance recommendations help extend intervals between professional servicing.
