Hasselblad Repair Manuals

Has anyone bought any of the manuals for sale at Hasselblad Repair Manuals? Legit and worthwhile?

I have heard positive reviews of this gentleman's manuals--I do intend to buy the one on repairing backs when I have a bit of spare cash. I've got a couple i've picked up over the years that are a bit worse for wear, and I'd like to tinker with them myself.

I've bought his light seals for Hasselblad backs off eBay, and they seem to work quite well indeed.

To follow up, I did buy the lens repair guide and yeah... it wasn't worth it. Basically 8 pages of photo copy text with a few outdated photos, reads like someone is speaking to you and telling you how to repair a lens without being able to demonstrate or even point at a lens.

That's sad, I had thought of buying one once. What a scam. Thanks for updating us.

you didn't know about https://learncamerarepair.com/productlist.php?category=2&secondary=5 ? these are the factory service manuals. For free. For lenses, they don˝t have manuals for the older C and CF, but the CFE, yet electronics apart, it should be informative about the mechanical part.

Calibrating my 203FE should be a snap once I get these doodads:
