Hasselblad Exploded View of Internals?

Are there any sites that have exploded internal parts views of Hasselblad cameras? Since I got a 501C I'm rather intrigued as to how all the mechanics of it makes it all work to fire the shutter and interlocking of the magazine.

Like this one ?

I got creative quite a while ago :)

Kind of a surprise to see the 90 deg drive gear to cock the shutter, but I guess they had to make a right turn somehow. There's enough inside to convince me I probably don't want to take it apart.

You are quite right.
Hasselblad 500 series cameras demand expertise and training to repair them whatever so called DIY manuals on internet want you to believe.

Keep in mind the 500 series are the "easy" ones.
Early focal plane shutter cameras like the 1600F and the 1000F demand years of training and the hand of talented repairmen to have even a chance of setting them right.

It may take several hundred hours to bring those early designs back to life.
These cameras are the icing on the cake for every collector. Keep in mind collectors do use their early cameras to keep them in shape.
Forum user 1000F use the 1000F camera exclusively with amazing results.

Hasselblad cameras stand for IQ whatever their age is.

Indeed, taking the shell off just for curiosity is really as far as you should go.

You'll never get it into proper shape again, especially not the alignments that are spec'ed to 0.01mm .....

Then when the replacement shutter it placed in, the cloth tab pulls off the shutter material and the replacement shutter is useless.

Most of the time the original shutter curtains can be saved.
The problem you describe is not known by me or any of the 1600F/1000F cameras restored here.
New shutters and most of the parts that wear are in stock ready to be fitted if necessary.
Want a new bodyshell for a 1600F or a 1000F? I stock them.

It takes experience and a lot of patience to recondition these early Hasselblads.

Do not worry about the problem you described. It does not happen.
I guarantee fully rebuilt cameras for a period of 12 months regardless of the age.
