sinar p3 - service/repair question - fine focusing knob

[daz7]

Hi,

I am looking for a sinar P3 service/repair manual. I have a sinar P2 manual and carried some repairs myself with no problems.
With the P3 though, the knobs seem to be different - I do not know how to dismount the top knob from the bottom mech (fine focus). In the P2 there was a central silvery sticker ring on top that could be removed and then the top of the knob was easily removable to show the holding screw.
Now, with the P3 I do not know if Sinar changed construction but it seems to be done differently and not quite obvious.

Does anyone know how to take off the knobs or maybe someone have a P3 service manual showing how it is mounted (slim chance, but who knows)?

Have you found that eventually? I'll be very interested in the P2 manual also

A few years ago I had a very nice discussion with Sinar by email, and they provided software for my ancient eMotion 22 back.

Me too! I have the P manual, but not P2.

I have a P rear standard for my hybrid SINAR set-up, and it would profit from some maintenance .. so if somebody could share the P-manual, I would be eternally grateful

Have a nice Sunday,

There is a cap on the end of the knob that comes off and a nut behind that.

I did post the service manual file here for a short moment (I've just edited and removed the link) but when I had another look at the manual it has a disclaimer about not sharing it. If you do a google search it's pretty easy to find where I originally got it from.
