An ungodly amount of digging for manuals and reports of other people repairing them. I wouldn’t recommend it, and I dread doing it because these cameras are hellish inside. I mean, there are multiple pulley systems inside the T3 that route throughout the camera, and you have to take an obscene amount of it apart to get to anything. The full list of fixes I did to mine was:
1. Repair a lever that was disconnected related to closing the aperture.
2. Swap the ground glass focal plane for a split image.
3. Swap the prism for a nicer one since the original was desilvering.
4. Add diodes for dropping the voltage of silver oxide batteries.
5. Replace all the light seals and mirror buffers.
