Ottoman matchlock build, slideshow and vids
Another video of another build, this time a matchlock similar to those used by the Ottoman empire around the early to mid 16th century. I am not done with this one, it needs something, maybe some metal work, most of the examples I found on line have some kind of elaborate inlays and/or metal work. I haven't decided what it needs yet.

Sanyo Beta VCR4900 belt replacement
Просмотров 714 месяца назад
Basic video showing how I replaced the belts in my Sanyo VCR4900 Beta player. Its not very complex and is a good way to start when trying to breath life into a 40 plus year old obsolete beta machine, the belts and other rubber parts are almost certainly beyond hope. From here you can track down other issues as the come. From my experience, limited to five machines, the build quality is so good ...

Test fire and slide show of my third matchlock. The opening card is quick, that was a mistake, but I hope you enjoy this video. The slideshow shows the building project with some extra details.
Sony Betamovie BMC550 sensor lens rehab
Просмотров 7810 месяцев назад
Many, if not all, BMC 550s have a similar issue, foggy image quality. I dont know what was used to seal the layers of glass together 40 years ago but it hasn't stood up well to the test of time. I you shine a light down the lens barrel of a 550 or later model, you may be able to see all the way down to the sensor lens, you may also be able to see haze or some other mottling in the deepest part ...
Sony Betamovie BMC 550 cloudy sensor lens removal
Просмотров 9910 месяцев назад
Another basic video on one possible solution for the later models of Betamovie (BMC 550 and up) cameras that have cloudy or foggy picture quality. Almost all of these cameras suffer from delaminated sensor lenses. With a little effort and patience all may not be lost.
Sony Betamovie BMC220 auto focus belt replacement

For me this was a big breakthrough, a belt that works for the Betamovie auto focus drive. I have several of these and the common problem is the non functional auto focus, here is a working solution.

This is more of an off the cuff disassembly of a junk camera to figure out how to get the lens off, if you fell the urge, dont follow along while holding you beloved B&H movie camera, there are lots of useless steps that can be skipped.
ShopSmith 10ER blade change
Просмотров 246Год назад
A very basic demonstration of a blade change on a Shotsmith 10er, meant mostly for anyone who may want one but doesn't have one yet, just to show that while I think these are genius machines, they may not be for everyone. Video is thanks to the finest in 90s analog technology and obsolete conversion software.
Shopsmith 10ER old style scroll saw presser foot replacement

The title could also be "How to make a simple job harder" It doesn't include anything about the spring steel hold down thing, I am still working on that. This will give you the basic idea of how to replace that crumbling pot metal original. With some extra effort you could make one that looks exactly like the original but it wasn't that important to me.

Pentax top replacement, SP and HV3, others similar
Thanks for the video! I bought an ME super for parts and imagine that, it was missing that part lol. But thanks to your video I can now easily get the door off.
can i ask if you know which pentaprism from other cameras can be replaced with spotmatic sp1?
I have no idea about that, I would think that any prism from a similar sized pentax might fit.
@@tobroken1965 thank you for your reply good sir, i heard that too. some say specific ones like k1000, and some only SPs. i'll update you if i get a strong answer for this. thanks again! -Ruzaini
Hey tobroken, I was gifted one of these by a family member and really want to get it working so I can give them some photos shot on it. No one near me (SoCal) will repair it. Any idea who could help?
No idea. If you have a dud roll of film that you could put in to test it, try that, they only really work with film in them. wind it up, and see if it works paying close attention to the shutter. If yours has the manual setting that is even better. The biggest problem of the models that I have had is sticky shutter blades.
just bought this at the thrift, hopefully it works 😭

I have used steel wool to clean corroded battery contacts mostly on flash units with great success
Thx so much, I was repairing my Super A when the rewinding shaft felt....I was like nooooooooooooo, and now, how am I going to open the door :D Solved thx to you!
Glad I could help.
@bdjn266 Oh what a coincidence. My rewind crank on my Super A also fell off but I just can’t seem to activate the opening mechanism in the rewind shaft. I’m trying it for hours now but I can’t feel anything. How did you do it, do you have any advice? Thanks in advance!
@@moritzrkm I simply used a paper clip I bent to make a very tiny loop, then go just like @tobroken said, go inside and try to pull in different ways, it should do it
@@moritzrkm I am unfamiliar with the Super A, but I can only assume it is similar to other older models. experiment with the bend on the paper clip, and keep at it, you will get it.
You should have digitized the film first, and then used the free online program called stereophotomaker for perfect alignment and subsequent cropping. Then you don't have to use that parallelogram thing with your Zorki. Then you can also use the 30:1 ratio instead of the typical inter-pupillary distance. But thanks for the info on the Stereo Realist. I just picked one up today.
I have a sweet little Kodak Vigilant (could be wrong on the name), that takes beautiful photos, but the hassle of respooling keeps me from running it. I have, but sitting in the dark to spool enough rolls to make an outing worth while defeats the fun of shooting. My Bronica takes beautiful photos as well, with no hassle at all. Same goes for my Argaflex and Yashika D. Both have fab glass, only one takes 120.
It is 100% true that high voltage capacitors can still build up a charge and zap you many years after last charge. DO NOT REACH INTO ONE OF THESE UNLESS YOU ARE WELL VERSED IN ELECTRONICS>
This "glue" is Canadian Balm!!
I used a revere stereo camera and a stereo realist camera and found the revere images were much sharper than the realist.
I have one of those which works but shutter is slow at some speeds and the winder return is sluggish. This video helped make up my mind. That guy fixed his own. I'm taking mine in for service! Too many teensy parts.
That damn self-timer! Thank you so much!
Hi! How did you take off the front element? It wasn’t shown in detail in the video
It's been a while but most of those front lenses just unscrew, you will need a decent quality spanner that has reversible tips for pinholes and slotted rings. Behind front lenses are often found stacked lenses that usually come out as a unit. Beyond that I don't remember, I don't even have that lens anymore.
@@tobroken1965 thanks! I’ll see what I can do. Really appreciated your video! (You seem to be the only one on RUclips to have disassembled one of these lenses)
Do you have any advice on how to take apart a Keyston K8 for lubrication?
I have never worked on one, so I dont have anything to offer.
Does any modern film work on this?
Not that I have ever heard of. The only polaroid aftermarket film left is the peel apart 100 series, single shot stuff made by some sensitive guy in Austria, I thinks it's Austria.
But where can I get pack film
It went out of production about 6 years ago, you can maybe find some old stock on ebay but it will be a crap shoot.
If your interested in another one I have one exactly like the one in your video minis the carved top
Hey im in the midle of restoring a lens and am intrested in how you made the custom shutter leafs
I didn't, I found it this way.
@@tobroken1965 ah ok thanks for the reply
The film you bought the from eBay following is expired you should check the date when you receive it from the box at the bottom of the box
It's all expired. It hasn't been made in at least 40 years. I wanted to try anyway. I got what everyone else gets when they try this.
Do you know if the SP1000 has the same mechanism?
Its been a while but I dont think so, at one point the timer moves from inside to underneath the floor of the camera, the clockwork is similar but not identical.
WOW,...THANKS...I FIXED A LOT...OF VIBRATOR, RADIOS....
what a pity ! bad focus
Too smoke due to gun powder
Thanks so nuch for this. I have the same issue with the negative side wire breaking connection. I thought i was going to have to peel back the leather and remove the while lens and shutter unit. This is a far simpler way to di it. Wish me luck!
Awesom stuff man! I wanna see more!
Thank you, I have three other videos posted of two earlier matchlocks I built. At the other end of my video list. Pretty crude videos but you will get the idea.
Awesome video as usual! I just received an Autronic from ebay to add to my JFK collection. Next up: a Cine Kodak Magazine 16 used by Kennedy's close friend and assistant Dave Powers who filmed snippets of the motorcade from the follow up Secret Service car.
There is a book called Pictures of the Pain, that goes into detail of the photography and filmography of that day, it also includes many of camera makes and models of cameras used by various people.
@@tobroken1965 Yes Pictures of the Pain by Richard Trask is a great book! I highly recommend it to anyone interested in learning more about the assassination from a knowledgeable and unbiased author. Between it and the camera display at the Sixth Floor Museum I have been able to identify and collect almost 20 cameras used before, during and after the assassination. I'll soon be making a series of videos based on my JFK collection of artifacts and memorabilia including the still and movie cameras.
Man got to respect it, this is why I replace the curtains in the camera. not to go through all of that. Still a major PITA . But what ur doing it is likely you will never really reassemble it properly timed
the 2 metal lathes need to overlap each other when winding up.
Another Minister D owner here saying thank you for the video! Bought one today, shutter wasn't moving. Found it was the timed shutter release, for whatever reason it's gummed up and doesnt release on its own. So the camera works totally normal, so long as you don't try to use the self-timer.
I have found this to be a common problem although I am uncertain why. Most of the old cameras i have had, had faulty or sticky timers.
Wait, so how do I put the fork back in properly?!
once the camera is open, simply put the fork back throught the hole, from the inside. They dont always go in easily (depending on the model) but you will get it, then screw the knob back on.
BRUH....
Just curious, where are you buying film cameras for 1-3 dollars. I’m looking for a Pentax H3 parts camera. Thanks
At the time yes, I was buying pentax bodies from the H and S series to the K1000 for a few dollars. I would buy the beat up cameras in unknown or non working condition. It's been a while since I have seen any that cheap in several years.
got one off ebay, works perfectly fine but there is something small inside it moving around and i suspect its that inner cold-shoe plate regardless, thanks for this. big help!
whish I would find a detailed photo manual like this for the Zorki 6 ... not even sure if I need to get the top of just to check the shutter curtain mechanism
Thank you so much for this awsome tip..... Instead of heat gun, I used an aifryer and.. voila.. manage to separate a very hazy compund lens from teh rear group of a SMC Pentax M 1:1.7 50mm.. Worked like a charm 180° C for 10min.. all the balsam melted and the lens came appart easily...
That's a great idea, and gives you more control. That could be the difference between a successful separation and a cracked lens.
This is a pretty interesting camera I didn't know existed tbh what a cool piece of history
I just used this video to repair a C2, thank you so much for this.
Glad it helped
@@tobroken1965 it really did, there’s not a lot of visual examples of how this stuff is supposed to work. I read the manual for 2 days and didn’t get what I needed to do. Watched this and within an hour I had the camera firing
That's why I like to do them. I'm not an expert, but I like fixing these old cameras and other small gadgets.
Thank you for your Video. I managed to seperate them by frying. I had no scale for the temperatur so just observe till end.The glue degenerates and becomes gas after time. Would recommend to open your kitchen windows smells like you have made fries 😄
Great video! I have two of these that came on parts cameras and they don't want to function any more.
Yeah! I did exactly this to save my Elan!
Hola: gracias por sus excelentes videos explicativos, enhorabuena. Quería preguntarle como reparar una Pentax MX que se atasca en las bajas velocidades, no cierra la cortinilla. Gracias y un saludo desde España.
Without the camera in hand its hard to say, and those smaller cameras are not my specialty. I would recommend searching online forums for ideas, anything I say would only be guess work.
OK. Gracias.
EXCELENTE VIDEO!!!!!!!... it would be amazing if you could make a newer version with better quality T_T
I have since sold off most of the junk cameras and kept only the ones that work, but if more beater cameras come along i will see what I can do.
Appreciate the How To" videos!
Just got a automatic 35, where is the battery for that one?
Unless it's a 35f, it has a separate flash that takes the batteries.
Great video. Did you do the rangefinder adjustment with the lens on infinity? Or what?
Its been so long I dont remember.
Thank you so much!! This helped me!!
Spotmatic meters are pretty reliable no matter what anyone might say. The only failure besides dirty contacts is if the needle housing breaks internally and the needle does not move freely any longer.
Good job on the shutter curtain. Something I would like to tackle at some point. I have a couple of Asahiflex's with bad curtains I would love to fix.
I was a fun project, however I did have a slight ripple in the finished product. I did make a mistake in the reassembly, it capped at high shutter speed but it did work. The biggest problem was the metal end caps on the curtain, I was never happy with the result but it was only a first try.
@@tobroken1965 First shots at fixing something are always hit and miss. I hate it when I do something perfect the first time and never can seem to repeat it the same again. Lol...
