1976 Pentax ME - CLA

Hi every one this is the whole parts cleaning video about Pentax ME. Pentax ME is really great beginner friendly camera. Mechanical shutter, exposure metering and automatic mode packed into tiny body made this camera fun to use everyday. Hope you get some useful information from my video. Enjoy the video happy shooting with film guys!

This is the camera restoration content that I have been looking for. because restoration content like this is very rare on TH-cam

i have an MX and it just works, all mechanical. Also bought more simple and cheaper Ricoh XR500 just in case, which is also mechanical.

I just watched your canon AE1 video and was hoping that one day you would make a video about a Pentax me super.
That was fast! although the me "super" has some extra components, such as the "pneumatic shock absorber". Did you enjoy refreshing this camera? Disassembling it is a fun and fairly easy process.

I once owned one from new. Excellent engineering with a quiet shutter. Moved on to the Olympus OM2n. Another amazing camera. Those were the days. I think more care and thought went into taking a picture then as with a roll of only 36 exposures, every shot had to count and carelessness cost money! Great video. Many thanks.

Absolutely incredible!! You are preserving so much knowledge. I can’t thank you enough. Just starting to get into film repair and its videos like these that give me confidence (and a lot of direction, haha.)
If you have some time…
What kind of clear grease do you use? Is it just a generic synthetic?
How do you know what temperature to set the ultrasonic cleaner at?
What solution do you drop into the water before putting gears into ultrasonic cleaner?
Thank you again! You deserve millions of subs.

I mostly used silicone lubricants with two type smooth and normal. Just normal ultrasonic cleaner solution which is like soap. You can use a little bit of vinegar (20%) for more rusty parts cleaning.
