Plastic Housing: The plastic
covers and inner housing
protects the camera’s inner
parts and hold them in place
Film Cartridge: This
component is a material that
keeps an image after light
hits it. Film is then
developed into pictures.
Electrical Parts: These
parts allow for the
charge and discharge of
the flash
Film Advancement:
Moves to the next
frame on the film
Viewfinder:
Allows the
user to see
the picture
being taken
before the
shutter button
is pressed
Lens: Lets light
through for a short
time to hit the film,
burning the image
on the film
How It Works
• Most of the
materials used for
parts are plastic.
• As for the electrical
parts, most of them
are made out of
metal, for
conductivity.
• The circuit board is
made out of silicon.
• Two metal plates are in contact with
one another when the charge button
is pressed, which means the circuit is
complete.
• When you wind up the grey
spool, it causes another smaller spool
to spin, which is what moves the film
to the next frame.
• When the camera button is pressed, the
button pushes
down on a small black piece, which
releases the shutter, which then strikes
a larger red strip connected to the
circuit board, activating the flash.
• The shutter allows light to pass through for
a short time to hit the film, as it passes
the lens.
• This image is then rolled back
into the cartridge by the grey spool.
1. Using the blade of a small knife cut the
adhesive paper that covers the slits/planes
where the front and the back cover meet all
the way around the camera.
2. Using a small slotted screw driver depress
the locking mechanism that are present
around the back cover.(located on the sides
and the bottom of the camera)
3. Firmly hold the respected front of the
camera down and slightly pull upward on the
back casing. It should detach with a little bit
of wiggling.
4. Clearly mark the cover Part 1 and set it off
to the side.
5. Place the camera on the table flat on the
front cover as to leave the newly revealed
parts upward.
6. Using your thumb and index finger remove
the spool for unexposed film that is located
on the opposite side from the film cartridge,
it is removed by pulling it upward.
7. Clearly mark the spool Part 2 and set it off
to the side.
8. Using your thumb and index finger grasp
and remove the film cartridge by pulling it
upward.
9. Clearly mark the cartridge Part 3 and set it
off to the side.
10. Next using you thumb and index finger
grasp and remove the batter from holders.
This is accomplished by firmly pulling
upward.
11. Clearly mark the battery Part 4 and set it
off to the side.
12. Now grasp the camera in both hands and rotate
the camera 180 degrees as to present the front
cover upward.
13. Using your thumb and index finger remove the
front cover. (it should be free from the rest of the
parts)
14. Clearly mark the front cover Part 5 and set it
aside.
15. Using a very small set of needle nose pliers
release the tension on the copper spring that is
attached to the Lens base. ( this should be
accomplished by slowly removing it from the hook it
is attached to and slowly allowing it to recoil)
16. Clearly mark the spring Part 6 and set it aside.
17. Grasp the top and bottom of the circuit board
with your thumb and index finger and pull laterally
away from the camera wiggling and the circuit board
will detach.
18. Clearly mark the circuit board/flash Part 7 and
set it off to the side.
19. Rotate the camera 90 degrees so the viewing
lens is on the top( the respective top is upward)
20. Firmly grasp the viewing lens with your thumb
and index finger and firmly pull up ward and it will
detach.
21. Clearly mark it Part 8 and set it off to the side.
22. Lay the camera on its respective back with the
lens facing upward.
23. Rotate the lens fastener with your thumb and
index finger and pull it upward.
24. Clearly mark the lens fastener Part 9 and set it
aside.
25. Remove the lens by picking it up with your
thumb and index finger.
26. Clearly mark the lens Part 10 and set it
off with the rest of the parts.
27. Now return the camera to the respective
upright position with the picture button in
the upright corner.
28. Using your thumb and index finger
grasp and pull upward on the gear
protector/picture capture button.( being
careful not to remove any other parts in this
process)
29. Clearly mark the gear protector/ picture
capture button Part 11 and set it aside.
30. Using your thumb and index finger
remove the unexposed film counter by
pulling it upward.
31. Clearly mark the counter Part 12 and set
it aside.
32. Next remove the Film advancer that is
located in the top right corner it is removed
by pulling it upward with your thumb and
index finger.
33. Clearly mark the Advancer Part 13 and
set it off with the rest of the parts.
34. Using the needle nose pliers remove the
film advance locking mechanism by
grasping it and pulling it upward off the
shaft it resides on.
35. Clearly mark the locking mechanism
Part 14 and set it aside.
36. Using the pliers still remove the
revolving shaft that the other peaces were
located upon. This is accomplishes by
simply pulling upward.
37. Clearly mark the shaft Part 15 and set it
off to the side.
38. Remove the film advancer gear that
pushes the film along from the back of the
frame by using the pliers and pulling
laterally straight back.
39. Clearly mark the gear Part 16 and set it
aside.

40. Next remove the Locking Mechanism Release Lever by
picking it upward with your thumb and forefinger.
41. Clearly label the Release Lever PART 17 and set it aside
with the rest of the peaces.
42. Remove the resistance spring from the top corner section
by grasping it with the pliers and pilling it upward.
43. Clearly mark the spring Part 18 and set it aside.
44. Return the camera to its respective back having the front
face upward.
45. Remove the lens base by depressing the locking
mechanisms that are located around it with the small slotted
screw driver.
46. After the locking mechanisms are depressed pull upward
with your thumb and index finger.
47. Clearly mark the base Part 19 and set it off to the side.
48. Remove the metal spacer that is present by grasping it
with your index finger and thumb and pulling it upward.
49. Clearly mark the metal spacer Part 20 and set it aside.
50. Acknowledge the fact that there is a peace of metal jutting
upward out of the top of the frame. ( for putting back together
purposes) the recoil shaft
51. Mark this recoil shaft part Part 21.
52. Count the internal frame as a part as well.
53. Mark the internal frame as part 22 and set it aside.
54. The camera is completely taken apart.
