A trove of repair manuals at the Photographic Historical Society of Canada

"These repair manuals are the efforts of the late John Craig whose widow generously donated them to the PHSC in DVD/CD form. The manuals have been graciously transferred from disk to website as pdf files by Jeri Danyleyko." Grateful thoughts towards these two persons.

Unexpectedly stumbled upon this following a google search for a Zeiss tool for Contaflex Super B: 126-00.044/800.

Great timing for me; I have a Nikon DP-12 on the way and couldn’t find the service manual at the usual sites.

A great resource! Thank you for posting.

Here is a C&C Troubleshooting Guide for the Canon A-1, the best one you can find!

Yeah, but I'm in the US. I'll have to pay a 25% tariff on anything from Canada.

I know that CRAIG had a lot more manuals than those listed -- I have a very old list somewhere -- and the website states that it is a WORK IN PROGRESS, so I'm sure the list will grow with time.

I'd advise not to postpone grabbing all that is potentially useful for you. I noticed that the higher-level page https://phsc.ca/camera/research/ is password protected, as are all the other sub-pages of documentation, except the repair manuals of the John Craig Memorial Society. A testament clause, or an oversight?

Thanks much for the link!

Not an oversight, but those password protected sections aren't yet ready to go live/display. All of the repair manuals will remain to be free from the PHSC. There were a few unreadable CDs from John unfortunately, so a few didn't make the transition over (he had one CD burned per manual).
