Video of Voigtlander Bessa 1 breakdown on YouTube

I just found this and thought some of you might be interested:
Voigtlander Bessa 1 strip down and service (6 parts) by Chris Sherlock, Feb 2021


I think he overly simplifies the difficulties in disassembling and reassembling the Synchro-Compur shutter by making it look so easy, and this is not an instruction video per se. But this is a great series of videos that shows every step as he breaks down, cleans, and reassembles the entire Bessa 1.

Chris Sherlock is great. He has so many videos like this showing the breakdown and reassembly of cameras. They aren't 'instructional' videos, more 'illustrative.'

Perhaps you can say that they are 30% instructional because he is great at explaining what he does and why, and 70% illustrative because he is so good at what he does that it looks easy. You can give him a bag of a Retina in pieces and he'll put it together with almost no effort. He knows all the parts, even the tiniest ones.
