  • Restoring a rough and corroded eighty-seven year-old Kodak Retina type 119 camera to full working order, continued.
    Consumables used servicing camera bodies:
    I use naphtha (cigarette lighter fluid) for cleaning metal parts. CRC Heavy Duty Lectra Clean for dried grease that the naphtha won’t dissolve. A generic wax and grease remover to soak mechanical parts prior to cleaning in an ultrasonic cleaner. Glass cleaned with normal domestic glass cleaner.
    Parts are lubricated with Inox MX6 (a synthetic grease), Rocol Dry Molybdenum paste, MicroLubrol Helimax XP helicoid grease, graphite powder, or graphite grease as needed.
    Leatherettes are glued back with Ados F2 adhesive.
    Consumables used servicing shutter and lens assemblies:
    Naphtha (cigarette lighter fluid), or occasionally CRC Heavy Duty Lectra Clean. Lenses cleaned with normal domestic glass cleaner.
    Parts are lubricated Rocol Dry Molybdenum paste, MicroLubrol Helimax XP helicoid grease, graphite powder, or graphite grease as needed.

    Though it might not win any beauty contests, that old ugly duckling is cleaning up really nice! At this point, there's no way anyone would believe your "before" shots are of this same camera. By the time you're done, I'm guessing this is going to look really nice either in the hand or on a shelf. I'll be sitting tight as I'm REALLY curious as to what that shutter assembly looked like.
