Rolleiflex repair, servicing a Rolleiflex Automat TLR. Part 01

A generic wax and grease remover to soak mechanical parts prior to cleaning in an ultrasonic cleaner. Glass cleaned with normal domestic glass cleaner. Parts are lubricated with Inox MX6 (a synthetic grease), Rocol Dry Molybdenum paste, MicroLubrol Helimax XP helicoid grease, graphite powder, or graphite grease as needed.

Lenses cleaned with normal domestic glass cleaner. Parts are lubricated Rocol D
