SPT - 1975
Collection of service notes published by the Society of Photo-Technologists covering essential topics for camera repair professionals and technicians. The document includes in-depth articles on servicing the Polaroid SX-70, outlining critical considerations and diagnostic procedures needed before undertaking repairs. A complete construction guide for an autocollimator is provided with detailed optical schematics showing objective lens, condenser elements, beam-splitting mirror, and reticle alignment—essential for precision optical bench work. An alternative collimator design for telephoto lens adjustment is also documented. The Yashica YK supplement walks through front lens element removal and full camera body disassembly procedures. Additional sections cover GAF XI 110 disassembly, practical guidance on solvents and lubricants for camera work, and specifications for building an oscilloscope-based shutter tester with integrated collimator. Includes purchasing guidelines and recommended protocols for parts-sourcing programs. Valuable as both a repair manual reference and a technical resource for workshop technicians maintaining and troubleshooting film cameras of the era.
