GrumpyTim | Vintage Camera Repairs - Some Tools for Fixing Old Cameras @GrumpyTim | Uploaded 8 months ago | Updated 6 hours ago
I was in the middle of fixing a Petri Flex 7 SLR camera from the 1960s and I thought it might be interesting to make a video showing some of the tools I use for camera repairs. Most of these are common tools such as screwdrivers and tweezers, along with a few fairly common specialised tools like a lens wrench, but I figured the most interesting tools might be the custom made tools for specific tasks on a particular camera. That all sounds very glamorous, but they're mostly bits of scrap materials that I have lying around that I've just converted using basic tools. The electronic shutter timer that my brother and I made is definitely the most elaborate item in the video.
