- The slow gear in this Canon F-1 was not working correct, so I partly took the camera apart, then took out the film advance part so I could get to the slow gear, then just add 2-3 drop's of lighter fluid in the slow gear, then blow away the rest of the lighter fluid and add a few small drop's of sewing machine oil, but only on the axel end and then it works.
The film advance gear was a bit sticky so I add a 1-2 drop of lighter fluid and then 1-2 drop's of sewing machine oil so the film advance gear run's very good .

Thank you so much for your video. It has motivated me to repair my newly purchased F-1 and everything is now working perfectly.
My tip for those of you who also have the same problem: You just have to manage to remove the housing. All you have to do afterwards is oil the gears. These are easy to reach with a needle. That's what I did and now everything works as it should.
Thanks! Do you mean remove the top plate and then you can squeeze a needle and oil in there? Without having to remove all the parts? SO from about 24:00 in disassembly you can oil the gears?
@@flowermaze___ Yes, exactly that. You have just to remove the top plate - then you can reach the gears with a needle and don't have to remove all parts. But be carefully with the little ball of the Lock (A/L) and make notice in which position do you left the shutter speed.
I got my F-1 today! I bought it off of someone on Ebay and it has the same issue! I DO NOT have the confidence to do this! I had to take it to the shop so they can inspect and do a repair. Great video though! Maybe one day I'll have the courage to do this!
Cristian Lopez same for me. Received mine today in mint condition with the same erratic gear but no way I will open it...
Thank you so much Mike for all the effort you put into those videos. Without them I would'nt have a clue where to start even thinking about repairing something myself. But thankx to your effort, I was able to successfully do some repairs on cameras and lenses myself. 👍👏
I hope you are over your cold and feeling better !! I felt so bad for you, knowing how hard it must have been to make that video while choking on phlegm !!
Yeah, thank you so much, I’m much better now 🙂👍🏻
Great Video - I miss the 'feel' of those old film cameras - I wished i could still use them in this digital world...
You _can_ still use them. What's stopping you?
You can, it is fun and gives you kicks, but really stupid to use in comparison to digital.
liked and subscribed. i'm getting an old f1, and although my eyes are too poor to attempt disassembling anything, this was fun and informative--it's always good to know as much as possible before taking it to somebody for maintenance.
Thank you SO MUCH for this video. I have disassembled simpler SLRs but didn't dare to touch my beloved F-1s. I have one with many problems and this video is a godsend.
Thank you for this tutorial, very informative.
Mike thanks to the video today i took apart my F-1 both top covers, and corrected some issues. Two important warnings: 1. Not to lose rhe small ball bearing under the shutter lock. 2. the right top cover needs to be removed carefully because the asa speed hook interferes with it.
YOU ARE DA MAN -- DO MORE VIDEOS!
Very insightful, thank you for sharing. Now I have to figure out how to repair the mirror return. The mirror stays up after firing until I advance the film.
Used this video to adjust my shutter speed indicator by shifting the pulley labelled 'E' in the canon repair manual. Thanks for the nice overview! Would most certainly have lost the little bearing in the shutter release lock if not for your warning.
Thank you very much for these instructions even if I do not know, if I would dare to do this. I am glad that the slow gears of my F-1 still work. But I know what such informations can be worth. Recently I gave my old Leica MDa with gear problems to the original Leica service (The Leica company is located here close by). Nearly 800 € I had to pay for the repair!
this is just mad helpful, thank you! also, very intersting positioning of slow gear at the top of the camera
You are talented! Thank you for sharing.
Thanks Vu Vu :-)
Very interesting.Well done and thanks for sharing👍🏻
Hi, Thanks very much for your helpfull videos! I had the same issue with my canon f1 old and it helped a lot!
Keep up the good work.
Cheers,
Luís.
Wow, same problem I have with my F1... I think I will try it... Great work 👍
You should try to fix it, but remember to take pictures during the disassemble, it's your backup.
@@mikeno62 yes, I will
Thanks for share this usefull video !
Most valuable videos. Thank you so much!
Must support !
film advance lever Mike, you should run your script by me, I would help you with right words, you are a great guy and I would like to help you here.
good work
Excellent tutorial! I will get my old F1 out of the mothballs!
Great job ! I think the idea is similar to my Canon FT. 1/15 and below are sticky
It's like an old mechanical Switch clock, I have an Canon F1 old with motordrive MF in mint condition myself.
Great video! I have one with a lighting problem. Pictures come out a little bit over exposed on the right of the frame. I think it may be a lightleak on the right hinches of the back door or maybe a curtain not moving at the same speed through the entire travel time.
awesome instructions!! really like it
I have a question, I just got a F-1 a few months ago and it is in wonderful condition. From what i can see, all shutter speeds are accurate. But just recently the slow gears below 1/8 start to make a noise after the second curtain closes. It sounds a bit like the self timer, where it winds a little bit more after taking the shot, so the camera is stable. Normally all gears stopped as soon as the curtain closed again, but now it really sounds like a gear unwinds a little bit more afterwards.
The shutter speeds still seem to be accurate, but I'm worried if it is alright. Do you think it needs to be oiled? but id think it isnt a sticky shutter, because all speeds seem to perform well. or does this happen at the start when it gets sticky?
My F1's shutter speed reading in view finder is not in sync with shutter speed dial. When I set a speed to 1/2000 th, the reading does not show in the view finder. When I set it 1/1000 th, its reading is 2000. Basically, the reading in view finder is 1 stop higher than the dial setting.
A wonderful lesson. I would also like to get advice from you. Recently, I invented the Canon F-1n and found that after a shot, the mirror sometimes does not go down to its original position.It happens 3-4 times on 36 frame film, at any shutter speed. When the shutter is cocked, the mirror is lowered. What could be the reasons? Thanks.
Thank you once again thanks you for an amazing video. I'm about to work on an F1 but my problems start at 1/15s and below. Do you know if the slow speed gear is responsible for these speeds?
Doesn't matter, i can confirm that the very same mechanism is responsible for all speeds below 1/15. The camera is now repaired. Thanks again for the tutorial!
Thanks to your video you can solve this problem but now the mirror stays up at certain speeds to lower it you have to advance the film, can you know what the problem is? Thank you
A great lesson, thank you very mach. I would like to know your opinion. Canon new F1 works great at plus temperature.but the shatter stops working completely at temperatures below 0 degrees. What is the reason? Thanks.
I would think the camera and specially the shutter needs a good cleaning and lubrication.
@@mikeno62 How to Clean and lube the shutter of an F1?
I have the same problem with my FTb, all slow speeds are uneven, 1/8 stays stuck and 1/1 takes about a second an a half.
I tried lubricating the shutter speed knob shaft from above but had no luck with it since i couldn't find the timing gears.
Do you know how to fix it without removing the mirror box? And if possible, can you make a video about it?
So how to take that glued cover off the iso and shutter speed button?
Yep! Stuck there also... any ideas?
Is it possible to open the prism for the F-1 to clean out the fungus?
Should you really be putting Loctite on a screw that you hope to be able to undo with a piece of sticky rubber?
Thanks for the informative video, it will be useful when i have to disassemble my f1! Do you know what the issue can be for the framecounter not advancing when I pull the advance lever? the film advances fine and resets, but the framecounter moves ever so slightly and then flicks back to 's', this occures when theres film in the camera or if its empty, and occurs when the back is closed and when its open. I assume it might be the backpin mechanism not engaging properly with the film advance/counter? many thanks
Thank's, it could be some sticky counter parts under the counter itself that sit on the axle, maybe the gear wheel for the counter is a bit worn out.
If there are some sticky parts, you could try to add a drop of lighter fluid on the axle end, just to see if the sticky parts will start to move when you advance the the advance arm. just some ideas.
@@mikeno62 finally got round to opening it up, turns out the frame counter cover was brushing against the counter, also the spring/lever thats supposed to engage the counter cog had failed to make proper contact when the advance lever was engaged! I also cleaned it up with iso alcohol and placed some fresh lube as instructed by yourself, fixing the slow/stuck mirror and shutter at 1/30 and bellow! You are a god send, wish u the best mate.
@@menamejeff609 Check this video out. I did actually the repair myself today after droping the camera and producing a dent on the cover that resulted in the frame counter not moving. Although I would recommend taking the camera to a professional. These things are delicate.

Ups, just saw you came around with a solution. Anyway the video is there for whoever wants to watch it.
Hi, sorry for this kind of question, im trying to remove rewind knob on F1 but no luck if its easey can you give me advice how to do it
Mike can you find a shutter squeak in any canon A1 or AE 1 series.
Hi Mike! I'm wanting to buy a Canon A-1 and I've found one online but there's fungus in the viewfinder, is this a pretty serious issue or is it something I could fix on my own with some research?
Stay 100 miles away, spend more but buy a clean camera, they are expensive, try craiglist and your local city.
Hi, great video. I just got my F1 and I'd like to ask do you know why my camera won't attach to the tripod screw? Thank you in advance
Are you using 1/4-20?
hei there. can you do one for canon EF too. that camera is way harder and static electricity sensitive.
Sorry, but I don't have a Canon EF.
Does anyone know how to open the old Canon f1 prism? The eyelevel viewfinder
See page 12 of this manual astrosurf.com/cmilovic/equipo/f1repair.pdf
this guys just tempting you to ruin your broken cameras as you try and copy him...
Yes, while I think there's a lot of useful information in this video the fix is more of a bodge than a repair. The emphasis is all wrong, with more time and effort spent on glueing a wire than on cleaning the gear train. I'd like to see the whole thing stripped down, cleaned and rebuilt but that would take many hours and, realistically, this is about as thorough as any amateur repairer is likely to be. At least the result is a camera that, for a couple of years, will be more useable than it was before.
