In that case I have about 50 old cameras that I will send you as soon as possible for repair

I am sure there are many more fellows here who wished to have that equipment at their workbench. Thus quite some choices for you to send your stuff to...

Aside that we all already have our own piles to work on.

My father would say: "You don't put your tools in a pile like that! You keep a few of them in order on your workbench, and the rest in their correct places in the drawers".

When we looked at photos from the Franke & Heidecke (Rollei) factory from the 1930's, the first thing he looked at was how they kept their tools. And he agreed with the worker on the photo. He kept the tools in order.

I have the link to Kanto bookmarked. I'm interested in their optical coatings, and I may have use for their work in the future.

I follow them on Instagram. I had no idea it was such a large operation.

As said in that video, each guy has his own way of doing to feel comfortable.

What surprised me though was that the chief technician had no means whatsoever to prevent tiny parts from rolling off the table and into oblivion.
Who of us not had a grub screw or bearing ball lost this way for good. Well grub screws are generic, but not neceesarily parts from a Minoc C...

Another thing that surprised me was that at filing and grinding was no means for dust suctioning.
