Mamiya 7 and Mamiya 6 Repair Tools

I’m doing some spring cleaning/reorganization so thought it might be a good time to show some of the Mamiya 7 repair tools that I use (all of the items in the photo are for Mamiya 7 except for the three in the upper right which are for Mamiya 6).
Photo two shows a detail of the gauges used to check and adjust spacing between front and rear elements on the Mamiya 7 lenses. While this is not something that needs to be done often, if a lens came in with a focus/resolution issue and appeared to be repaired and carelessly assembly, I would check the spacing.
Photo three shows the spanners used to remove elements in the various Mamiya 7 lenses.
Photo four shows the Mamiya Multiple Tool and the ST-02 (on the left) basic tube used to check and adjust lens focus. The ST-03 (on the right) is used to calibrate the Multiple Tool for rangefinder adjustment and lens cocking angle.
If there is interest, I will post photos of other Mamiya specialized repair tools.
