Has anyone here taken apart a sinar camera?
Its been a while, but yes. Which model are you concerned about?
Yep. But you have to indicate the specific model and format.
what I want to know is whether there are schematics available for the various cameras for folks that want to take them apart.
Sure. There are various repair manuals floating about.
You'll also need to know how to put it back together again; proper cleaning / proper lubricants / adjustments / etc.
Ok. Cannot seem to find a manual, so I will just ask the question and see if anyone knows he answer.
Received a Sinar F camera with some other stuff I bought for the P2. F is in nice shape, but has a couple of issue. One of them is this.
On the rear standard the hold down stay (for lack of a better word or words) for the swing and shift doesn't seem to be working properly, although when I take it apart, and take the font standard apart, both look exactly the same and the front standard works, meaning when I move the lever over to the side it locks the swing and shift, whereas on the rear standard when I tighten the lever it does not lock the swing and shift. But again, both look exactly the same when taken apart.
What am I missing here (besides the service manual)?
The lock is essentially just a cam. It's meant to have just so much tolerance in tension, plus or minus, when tightened. But after long-term use, the degree of play might get worn down just too much, and need replacement as a part. The change might be hard to spot visually, but these things do wear out. There might be other answers, but that's the most obvious to me.
I don't see how that could be. The rod that controls the tilt goes all the way through and is between the stay and the screw. A large bushing causes them not to touch. Its something else.
I also seek a Sinar Norma Parts and Disassembly manual.
I think Bernice was working on a Norma thread.
The P we have from this post.
