A collection of technical service notes published by the Society of Photo-Technologists (SPT), providing detailed maintenance and repair procedures for professional photographic equipment. This reference manual contains comprehensive instructions for the TOWER 20B shutter mechanism, covering disassembly procedures, frame counter access, film wind mechanics, and M and X synchronization contacts. The documentation includes extensive guidance on the Nikkormat camera for film counter access, with step-by-step directions for removing the rewind lever and top cover assemblies. A dedicated section addresses the Kalimar AM camera, documenting its automatic shutter cocking system, available shutter speeds ranging from 1/25 to 1/200 seconds, and dual exposure prevention mechanisms. Additional sections cover disassembly of the Gossen Lunisix light meter, troubleshooting the Mamiya C3 film counter malfunction, and modification techniques for Nikkor lenses to accommodate accessory brackets. The guide features detailed mechanical diagrams and photographic documentation of key assemblies. Each procedure includes safety warnings, specific screw locations, and practical advice contributed by experienced technicians specializing in these camera systems.
