I've got a few Rollei cameras- An Sl66, two Rolleicords TLRs, and a

I have been thinking about the viability of doing CLA myself on the

am reasonably technical, so this may be possible. Anyone doing this?
I enquired about materials from Sara Romney (below). Any thoughts on
this? Anyone
have any comments about the materials that she has available? I hate
to make
any investment in the documentation/tools if there is some showstopper

prevent me from being able to do this!
None of these cameras is particularly hard to service. You'll need
some special tools, of course.
On the SL66 everything you need to get at to service/adjust the shutter
is on the crank side of the camera. The whole side cover comes off and
the crank/shutter speed dial stays with it. You have to peel off the
top and bottom leatherette strips and the back part of the middle one
to get at the screws.
The other side comes off in a similar way to let you get to the
focusing rack in case it needs lubrication. Just be sure to set it to
infinity before taking off the side cover.
