This popped up in my Facebook feed earlier and it looks like it might be a useful resource for the tinkerers on here.

There are a number of technical manuals on there plus some course materials.

From memory, there are a couple of books (at least) on camera repair on archive.org (and I don't mean "woodworking skills, field cameras for the repair of" type books).

This has come along at the exact right moment, I picked up an Olympus Trip yesterday which sticky aperture blades that I was hoping to repair!

I don't think there's a repair manual on there for the Trip 35, but there's a detailed guide on repairing sticky aperture blades here: http://www.thermojetstove.com/Trip35/

Just noticed that, no bother! And thanks for the link! I did have one guide open yesterday but got stuck as I didn’t have a screwdriver small enough. Your guide has shown me the error I was making as the screws I thought I needed I didn’t! So it’s all good
