Pentax MZ-3 | Part 1 - Inspection & Body Panel Removal

The first in a series of videos where I fix a failed mirror motor gear on a Pentax MZ-3. I start off with an inspection of the camera, demonstrate the failure, then remove all of the body panels from the camera. The rest of the series can be found in the Pentax MZ-3 Repair playlist.
