TL Electro-X Assembling charts
These are mechanical diagrams showing the parts of the TL Electro-X, with part numbers and brief descriptions. Each GIF file is a 300 DPI scan of an 8 1/2 x 11 page. File sizes range from about 75 to 225 K. You can essentially recreate the copy I worked from by printing these at 300 DPI, full page, landscape mode.

The images I worked from have obviously been photocopied several times and are showing places which are beginning to be almost unreadable. I have touched up some but haven't finished.

Most of these thumbnails aren't very useful, but they are linked to the real images. The full-sized images are on the order of 3200 x 2400 pixels (16 times this size), so resizing them down to what you see here doesn't leave much that's useful.

	Page 1: Mostly parts of the top of the camera: the knobs and dials etc. found there. (186 K)
	Page 2: Some parts from bottom and rear; sprockets and film winding mechanisms. (200 K)
	Page 3: Inside top of camera and front; shutter, exposure counter and mirror box overviews. (233 K)
	Page 4: Mirror box external parts and viewfinder. (145 K)
	Page 5: Pentaprism assembly. (75 K)
	Page 6: Some shutter and mirror box parts. (152 K)
	Page 7: Eyepiece, CDS cell, mirror governor. (95 K)
	Page 8: Film advance: counter and ratchet. (151 K)
	Page 9: Back cover and pressure plate, front cover and lens mount, exposure meter switch. (137 K)
