It is accessible under the baseplate. If you have an FTb you will be able to see its operation quite easily, but in the case of the F-1 the latch and master shaft is hidden under a drive lever. The service manual for the old F-1 is available for free in a few internet sites, but I found this link last night. www.paradesquare.ca/canon_fd/Manuals/Tech%20Ref/f1repair.pdf
