PENTAX - pentax me super service manual
by PENTAXComplete technical service manual for the PENTAX ME Super camera (Product No. 23903). This workshop manual provides systematic disassembly and assembly procedures tailored specifically to this model, with emphasis on the unique components that distinguish it from the earlier 23900 and 23901 variants. The repair guide covers methodical disassembly of all major assemblies: bottom cover removal, winding lever extraction, rewind knob separation, ASA ring disengagement, top cover takedown, and desoldering techniques for critical circuit boards including the main P.C. board T100 and relay P.C. board A129. Detailed sections walk through body covering removal, front board separation, mirror housing disassembly, and safe circuit board pattern extraction procedures. The assembly and adjustment section provides essential calibration work: cocked indicator spring tension verification, main switch contact clearance adjustment set to 0.5mm tolerance, EF-switch contact piece positioning, bulb mode calibration, and dumper lever plate torque specification. Technical diagrams illustrate electrical connections and critical adjustment reference points throughout. Material handling specifications address the conductive surface treatment applied to the plastic top cover, insulation seal protection requirements, and the careful LED extraction procedure necessary to prevent damage to the shutter speed scale indication plate. This manual serves technicians and experienced users performing field service on this classic SLR.
