I have searched the Internet often for some detailed info about repair of the
DP-12 finder. I had read dire warnings about the "hair-thin wires" and "Don't
even think about attempting such a perilous task". Well, I just bit the bullet
and did it. After all, I have three of these things so the faulty one was a
backup. While I had the DP-12 in pieces on my desk, I took some photos of the
inner workings and made a web page that might help others who want to tinker
with this classic beast. The DP-12 is no longer shrowded in mystery and, no, it
is not impossible for the cautious and keen-sighted novice to repair if the
DP-12 has a loose wire, as mine did.
Someone please tell me if the page loads and looks OK because I am behind a
rather interesting network firewall that allows me to send data out but I cannot
see my own web site to confirm that it looks fine.
