Jig?
Only on St Patrick’s Day. On Passover I’m sure he has different moves!At first I thought this thread was going to be about how Sirius dances.
OK, I've got a couple of these cameras. What the heck needs to be squared? There's nothing that can be adjusted. There's a mirror box, a lens and a back. There's no way to adjust the "square" . All the gears and shutters, and film backs need routine CLA . I've had to have my awesome repair guys work on backs. I've even cleaned some of the gear train on a motorized EL. Hasselblad cameras are amazing, totally mechanical, no different than a expensive watch.
Still want to see a Hasselblad Jig. And Sirius dancing doesn't count
Sure, but how in the h☆ll do they get out of alignment. I can see a lowly Mamiya needing a tweak, with the bellows and all. This sounds like a service station telling someone the air in their tires is stale, needs to be changedThe front and back need to be parallel, sides perpendicular to the front and back, etc. Don't want the cube to be a rhombohedron!
If I was not need several Hasselblad repairmen, I would want access to a Hasselblad jig. In fact everyone should have access to a jig to square up the cameras they own.
Did your Saab have the emblem with the airplane? 48 years back I remember a friend had a two cycle Saab Sonett I don't recall it ever running.I had a Saab 3 cylinder 2 stroke station wagon. Very unusual car- odd engineering- but it worked pretty well for a long time. I guess kinda like a Hasselblad!
Yes, it did have the airplane emblem. Bystanders would try to “help” my wife when she was at the gas station: “oh no ma’am, the oil goes in the engine not the gas tank!”Did your Saab have the emblem with the airplane? 48 years back I remember a friend had a two cycle Saab Sonett I don't recall it ever running.
I believe it is the cube itself. It can bend.
Did Victor Hasselblad work for Saab at some point? I can't say it's a Swedish thing, because Volvo's, by and large, were designed relatively sanely. But every time I looked at the internals of a Saab, I always wonder what industrial grade recreational chemicals were involved in it's design.
I searched for "hasselblad jig", and found a monstrosity that looks like it escaped from a perverse blacksmith's lair.
It's not entirely unlike a frame-bending set up for an automotive body shop, but the idea that it's required for maintaining Hasselblad's in peak condition disturbs me.
Victor Hasselblad incorporated, made thousands of gears for Saab's aircraft production during the war, his company also made clocks until the first Hasselblad camera was made. He must have loved gears.

Unfortunately I wasn’t watching the temperature gauge one day while driving to work and blew the motor. A two stroke crank cost as much as I paid for the car so I converted it to the V4 motor. Not nearly as much fun
