SPT - 1975
Collection of service notes published by the Society of Photo-Technologists covering multiple topics relevant to camera technicians and repair professionals. The document features comprehensive articles on servicing the Polaroid SX-70 camera, discussing important considerations before undertaking repairs and diagnostic procedures. A complete guide for building an auto collimator is provided, featuring a detailed schematic (Figure 1) showing all necessary optical components: objective lens, condenser lenses, beam-splitting mirror, and reticle. An alternative collimator design for adjusting telephoto lenses is also presented. The document includes a dedicated Yashica YK supplement detailing the front lens element removal procedure and camera body disassembly steps. Additional sections address GAF XI 110 disassembly, the application of solvents and lubricants in photography work, and construction specifications for an oscilloscope-based shutter tester with collimator. The publication also provides guidelines for purchasing replacement parts and recommended rules for parts-purchasing programs within chapters.
