"These repair manuals are the efforts of the late John Craig whose widow generously donated them to the PHSC in DVD/CD form. The manuals have been graciously transferred from disk to website as pdf files by Jeri Danyleyko." Grateful thoughts towards these two persons.

Unexpectedly stumbled upon this following a google search for a Zeiss tool for Contaflex Super B: 126-00.044/800.

Great timing for me; I have a Nikon DP-12 on the way and couldn’t find the service manual at the usual sites.

Yeah, but I'm in the US. I'll have to pay a 25% tariff on anything from Canada.

I know that CRAIG had a lot more manuals than those listed -- I have a very old list somewhere -- and the website states that it is a WORK IN PROGRESS, so I'm sure the list will grow with time.

I'd advise not to postpone grabbing all that is potentially useful for you. I noticed that the higher-level page https://phsc.ca/camera/research/ is password protected, as are all the other sub-pages of documentation, except the repair manuals of the John Craig Memorial Society. A testament clause, or an oversight?

Not an oversight, but those password protected sections aren't yet ready to go live/display. All of the repair manuals will remain to be free from the PHSC. There were a few unreadable CDs from John unfortunately, so a few didn't make the transition over (he had one CD burned per manual).
