Hello Steve, Thank you so much for such a detailed instruction set. I used this 15 step set to generate a Konika FT-1 Repair Manual for my personal use. Everything that I have read concerning this premier vintage 35mm SLR camera has convinced me that I could not have selected a better unit from in that era. I was trained on 10x10, 4x5, 2˝ x 2˝, and 35mm cameras during my ~1977-1979 Scientific Illustrations course (black & white photo, A-Z) at the University of Arizona under Donald Sayner, and Color Photo Journalism under Jackie Sharky (National Geographic magazine). I was lead to your page initially by Martin Taylor from his comments of February 5, 2008, “I have never cracked this one open so I can't help you, however, someone at the classic camera repair forum will have and will be able to help you so drop by and ask your question there - https://kyp.hauslendale.com//cgi-bin/forum/discus.cgi - good luck repairing it.” Regards - Martin At http://www.theothermartintaylor.com/moveabletype/archives/cameras/000221.html Then to the blog “Konica FT-1 mirror and shutter stuck” at https://kyp.hauslendale.com/classics/forum/messages/2/17327.html?1263411243 and finally to your Wednesday, January 13, 2010 comments suggesting these photos and added disassembly instructions to help George. Do you have any similar sets for the SLR mechanics below the electronics? I understand the issues that might arise from parts flying and damage from improper disassembly. I have a mirror that will no longer move up and out of the way of the image-to-film. I’d be happy to share this manual with anyone who might be interested in their personal use of it. James |
