CLEANING
5.3.3 Viewfinder
With the eyepiece off, look into the remaining viewfinder and clean
the exposed element of the pechan prism using canned air or an air
syringe. If dirt particles are still present, remove the viewfinder as-
sembly from the camera by removing the four allen screws that hold
the base of the viewfinder to the front housing. Clean the exposed
underside element of the viewfinder.
5.4 MAGAZINE
5.4.1 Exterior
Keep the external surface of the magazines clean by wiping down wi-
th a cotton cloth with alcohol or a multi-purpose cleaner. When a
deeper cleaning is necessary, use De-Solv-It rubbed into the mag's
surface with a cotton cloth. Finish with alcohol applied with a cloth
to restore its original finish.
5.4.2 Pressure Plates
The magazine pressure plates should be cleaned of dirt and film par-
ticles by means of a dust-free cotton or chamois cloth. After cleaning,
run your finger across their surface for a slight lubrication.
5.4.3 Interior / Film Path
qOpen the doors of the magazine and inspect all surfaces on which
the film rides. If any film dust buildup is apparent in the sprocket or
roller areas, use alcohol and a Q-tip to clean. Use a utility brush with
soft bristles to clean particles from tight crevices.
Afterwards, use canned air and thoroughly blow out any remaining
dust in the throat and main chambers.
