Just in case they get lost again - I've uploaded them to my website and linked to them from my Tech Notes page at http://rick_oleson.tripod.com/index-27.html - bottom of the page.

Wow, great find! Rick, I've bookmarked your site. It looks to be a valuable source for repair information. Wish this sort of thing had been around when I was taking classes in camera repair some 18 years ago.

Actually, I was taking classes (sequentially, there was just one class, but it could be repeated ad infinitum) at a community college in Woodland Hills, California. It was about an 80 mile round tripper for me, but I hung in there for a couple of semesters. The guy who taught the class was a graybeard (literally) who knew the old stuff and had kept abreast of technological changes, so he was current with the new stuff as well. Already by then, it seemed camera repair was becoming a lost art. I'm glad that it has continued to survive, although it would seem that nowadays your average modern repair person would have to have experience in digital circuitry more so than the mechanics of it all.

It was a cool classs. There was very little in the way of lecture. Most of it consisted of us students bringing cameras and lenses in for repair, and then getting directions on how to proceed from the instructor. I actually learned quite a bit following this approach. But two semesters was barely enough to scrach the surface.

I've got all the files except the second one which seems to hang my Firefox. Maybe the PDF is corrupted. Anyone have that one?

Send me PM with an email address and I'll send a message with second file attached (only 1MB)

Indeed, the original site appears to be gone.

Thanks for re-hosting the files! Cool
