Disassembly Note
No screws or threaded fasteners are used in the 636 Camera: most housings and piece parts of
sub-assemblies are held in position by detents, spring catches or tangs which engage bosses or
cutouts in corresponding mating parts. Careful “spring apart” techniques will free most parts of the
636.
Flex connecting tabs are held in their solderless contacts by internal spring contact pressure. Safe,
easy removal of the flex is done by inserting the appropriate size leg of Universal Tool 12601 into
the connector. This releases the grip of the internal contacts and allows the flex to be pulled out
together with the removal tool.
