Thanks for your replies. Aside from cross point screws the cameras
seem
to be held together by "rings" with slots on each side. I assume these
are
threaded devices that act like bolts with holes in the middle. What
are
these called and what are the tools called that remove them. Sorry to
be
so
unknowledgeable but I have not worked on devices that use these type
of
retainers in the past.

Thanks
Howard


You will find Howard that many of the tools you will need you will have
to
fabricate yourself. I would suggest you order the Micro-Tools catalog
or
visit the web site for off the shelf tools. What you are describing
sounds
more like a nut than a bolt without a photo its hard to tell.
Mike


Again thanks
On the microtool site the tool seems to be called a "spanner" comes flat
or
pointed.
Silly me I always thought a "spanner" was a large wrench you kept in the
boot to work under the bonnet or to replace the tyre.

Someone had brought their camera in with a sticking shutter. 'hmm its abit
greasy too and smells a bit'
'Well i tried WD40 first but it didn't help'
