thank you so much. My pentax spotmatic was jammed like this and I can use it again. Finally. Thanks a lottt

Thank you this did the trick !!

Thanks for the great description on how to fix the shutter squeak got it on the first try! Thanks again

so good, thankyou!

Mine hasn't fallen through, but istead is stuck open. The black tab that you press counter-clockwise is also stuck. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Great video. For me an inspiration to dismantle my OM1!

Me da mucha rabia ver lo flojas que están esas roscas!! Las mías están inamovibles, no sé si se han atascado con los años o que pasa pero no consigo desenroscar.

I just bought one in a market. There was film in it and someone had tried to force wind on after all the film was exposed, dislocating the winding / shutter cocking mechanism. I will be trying to fix it as above so thanks for the info. I have my own ME Super since 1981. A great little film camera to learn on. I bought the broken one solely for its pristine 50mm f1.7 lens - the original kit lens and a truly excellent optic with PK mount which I use on my Sony mirrorless bodies in fully Manual mode.

thank you. I can not safely repair my rollie if ever/when ever it breaks down or has a hiccup in the future.

Hi! please help me where to look down or on top. The problem is this: after falling, the fast wind lever does not return back. I have to return it manually after rewinding the film

There is NO possible way you could "reuse" the original brass crimes from the tungsten wire, you'd utterly destroy them digging them out, trust me I know, you'd need to get new a crimping solution, apparently 0.5mm fishing crimps exist but they are a double thing, made too loop the fishing line, so some other 5mm tube is needed to crimp to the fishing braid, then use a soldering iron to seat that into the original plastic camera dial spool thing

Thank you for this! This fixed my original problem but it went back to getting stuck when screwing back in the plate. If I hold the camera upside down it works perfectly, is there a solution to this?

I touched the contact points and the magnet let go. The shitter button still isn't letting me take photos. So do I resolder the points? I don't have any issues with the lever advancing. Just the shutter button not doing anything when I depress it.

Hello, I have this camera and the button on the bottom of the camera to rewind the film back into the cartridge will not retract. How do I repair this problem? Can you enlighten me with some suggestions? I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you.

I can’t even get to unscrew the 2 screws to begin disassembly, it’s just a joke

what is a sufficient time to let the isopropyl alcohol get the cover off from the shutter speed dial? i let it sit for about 20 min but cant get it off :/

having this problem and followed the steps and even did it twice and nothing worked

Hi, I have a Pentax Spotmatic and it has been working great for the last year until recently. Everything works fine, but when the advance lever is done winding on the film and cocking the shutter, it does not snap back to its original position. It will return with a little force, but there is definitely some friction somewhere in the mechanism. Any idea what is causing that? Thanks :)

Thanks for the help! It helped with the Minolta X-500!

thank you man!! that was great!!

I know this is a little older video, but so am I and the cameras ... I have trouble turning the matte screen adjustment screws on my 501cm. Would you know any tricks to turn them and also maybe also where to get a proper tool for that (key V-4704)? Thanks a lot :)

I have problem installing ISO over indicator, is there any chance you can help me with that ?

is there any way to do this to the Leica/Minolta CL? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Can't find anything in the repair manual or online.

Is this only able to done on an FTn? Is it possible to be done to a Tn finder?

I was trying to adjust the blue gear then I think I heard something click, and now the camera jammed and the shutter doesn’t fire and can’t advance it and suddenly the electronics don’t work. The camera worked before I was just trying to adjust the winder bc the advance lever was sticky. I wonder if I should just try replacing bottom capacitor?

I have a Lunasix 3 and I am about to do the same upgrade but on my model, but: THE RED WIRE IS THE NEGATIVE! The position of the batteries is the same as yours with the + touching the screwing cap. If the diode must be connected to the positive that is the wrong wire. Please check with a multimeter with the 'beep function' which is the positive. Online you can find another video where you can see an Italian guy installing the diode on a blue positive wire one the side (Mine is Yellow).

helpful!

I want to kiss you

I had one in working condition about to be used. Loaded up a film but after a day or so I found out it wasn’t properly installed as that rewind dial wouldn’t spin when advancing. So messing around I must’ve done something wrong as now the shutter is cocked but can’t be fired anymore and the forwarding lever has no tension at all. Hopefully this video will be a fix to my issue. I just need to find the proper screw drivers first…

what size slotted screwdriver would be needed for the screws on top?

I just got my F1 in the mail. I put in a 675 battery but the light meter isn't moving at all. What do you think is the most common cause of this? How can i troubleshoot to locate the problem? Please help 😅

Thank you for this video ,it help me to repair my Canon .

Shutter repair itself is simple, but dismantle from the first screw and put them all back without your video is impossible. Thank you 🎀🎀

Thank you for every details described, very very helpful.

I also have the battery wire which is corroded and very difficult to solder. I was wondering if it was not possible to attach (glue) a new wire to one end of the corroded wire and gently pull to pass the wire through. I suppose that if the proposed method is to disassemble the front panel it is because it is not as simple as that.

I managed to fix the sqeak sound that came from the mirror mechanism (with silicon oil) but i also hear the same sound from the apperture mechanism especially if the apperture is small, from 11 to 22... I cannot figure out how to fix this one. If the apperure is 1.8 there is not sqeak... Also i observed that when i choose 22 for the apperture it does not fully close but closes like i have choosen 11 or 16.. Any ideas?? Thx!!!

Holy moly, I have an X-370 with this exact problem. Can't believe it's that easy to fix.

Hello sir ! Nice video, do you have some about this type of shutter not closing or jaming during closing ? Mine is a Sekor f3.5 90mm

I opened up the bottom, but discovered that the wind can stack and wind idler is what’s causing the issue. They’re completely stuck. Any chance you have a video on how to fix this? Thank you!

Any chance you fix FTN finders for hire?

That’s an old tube of conductive glue 😊

Yikes!

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO!!!

the plastic cover sont come off

👍👍👍

I have one of such cameras, was my favourite together with an Olympus Pen back when I used to shoot film, but its light meter suddenly died! I've even got a donor body to try to get it fixed, but sat on top of this matter for the past... 15 years?! Great content! I might just give it a try to fix mine myself! I'll let you know when I do

Thanks for sharing this! Super helpful. Do you ever add any grease/oil to any of the advance lever components when reassembling? (Asking because I am about to reassemble my M3)

Hello. When i have problem with fast shuter speed it can solve the problem? Becouse on 1000/s 500/ second curtin is to fast.

Excellant!

Excellant!
