Last Monday I started my usual spring maintenance so our machines are more then ready for the summer season. I use this time to thoroughly clean, repair, and rotate / change bulbs. While I was working I thought I'd post to see just how many tear these machines apart like I do. This isn't just removing the film trap, but taking these heads down to the frame. I'm talking about removing everything but the sprockets themselves. This includes everything from the shutter, to the film-path guides, to the gates. I use a shop-vac, wrags to wipe grease, paint brushes, tooth brushes, anything to get these machines spotless! When I'm done they look great. I do this about four times a year. How about you? And this isn't just "whip it out", I average four hours per machine. Now I don't want to sound like I'm bragging, but I want to know about your cleaning practices and seasonal maintenance.
