well, I posted this on couple other photographic forums, but then I forgot it may be interesting to some here too.
I had for a while the booklet "Фотоаппарат "киев-80" ("Kiev-80") - инструкция по ремонту" published in Moskva back in the 70s by в/о машприборинторг/ Mashprimorintorg, a big (state...) company that dealt with import/export of industrial and technical products. (still there they just converted to the new biznez schemes). Mashprimorintorg did the export of photographic gear to the capitalists markets.
anyway this booklet:
the Kiev-80 was the export badge of the Salyut-S.
I am currently tinkering with some Salyut bodies, and I wanted to check some more details against the technical drawings and more text descriptions.
The Tento booklet for the Kiev-88, which floats around the net since ever, also in english, is too succinct. The Kiev-80 booklet has some more detailed drawings.
I don't touch the book itself but use prints from a PDF I made of hig-res scans cleaned of background greyscale transparency background noise.
I will put this on some website being reworked but then I anyway uploaded the 45mb file to Yadisk. So in case it's of some interest:

this doesn't make you repair easily a problem, it's not a how-to for dummies, but a technical summary for repairmen. It's more verbose than the Kiev-88 manual though, with a problem/solution section about what and where. There are references to specific tools and gauges too.
for those who know, it's a bit like the Wolfgang Weiner "Reparatur Handbuch" published in 1994, as per documentation provided by Arsenal. In fact the Weiner manual looks basically like a reprint of all the technical diagrams found on this Kiev-80 manual, with less verbosity about the procedures, a good and similar problem/solution section, all packaged in additional introductory presentation of the whole system.
That is: it won't help more that this Kiev-80 manual.
when I get some time I have to OCR the manual in order to get a better, lighter, and more practical PDF. |
