WEBSITE UPDATE:

Due to the increased difficulty in people accessing this website and the sister, due to certificate issues from Yola, I am slowly migrating to Wordpress during 2023.  These camera repair pages will remain here, but will no longer be updated.

For recent cine resource updates, please visit: https://aussiecine.wordpress.com/

For recent camera listings, please visit: https://aussiecinerepair.wordpress.com/

This page holds no instructions, but is a link to a website developed by T. Nakano who has repaired, with pictures included, many Super8 cameras.

Although the original website is currently 'off line', I have been assured by the site's creator that it will be returning soon.  In the meantime the above link will take you to a archived copy of the site held by the Wayback Machine.  The site is mainly in Japanese, there are English translations next to each photo of a process.  The repairs cover parts that are commonly affected by wear and tear over a broad range of camera brands and makes:

Bolex, Canon, Chinon, Fujica, Elmo, Minolta, Nalcom, and Nikon.

The website also has many tips, pictures, camera data listings, and links.  For the "do it yourself" repairer who wants to get into the solder and springs of their camera, this website is a must see.
