Hasselblad 80mm f/2.8 C T* CLA - Shutter Cocking Gear Meshing

[Howie1922]

Hey Everyone!

I am CLAing a Hasselblad 80mm f/2.8 C T* for the first time and lost the timing on the cocking gears. Does anyone have any advice on how to find the correct timing for these gears? Also, does anyone have the repair manual for the Hasselblad 80mm f/2.8 C T*? I have the one for the CB, CFE, CFi lenses but they don't translate 1:1. Any information is appreciated! See below for the positioning of the gears.

Use your 500 body.

I don't remember exactly. The lower gear has a reference dot and it's usual to mark the position. But you should be able to find it by trial and error. First synchronize the cocking ring with the main cocking gear (on the main spring); they should mesh at their first teeth. Then cock/release with the key until it works?

It's been awhile since I've done this, but IIRC, I needed to re-orient the smaller gear so that the reference mark pointed towards the larger gear. And that involved correctly meshing something on the other end of the small gear's shaft. Recall being annoyed at having to disassemble that part of the lens again, but don't recall it being tricky otherwise, nothing under crazy tension requiring a third hand, or fingers of steel.

Fun having to learn these little tips without the aid of a mentor peering over your shoulder, isn't it!
