Equipment for deletion in the camera serviced well (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eraser

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'equipment for deletion' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'in the camera serviced well' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'ERASER' is hidden in the letters of 'camera serviced well'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for eraser that I've seen before include "An Indian rubber" , "It could remove" , "Obliterator" , "Stationery item" , "Rubs out" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
