I recently got a hold of a super clean, almost unused Minolta X570, and because it was so cheap, I figured something was not working with it. New batteries and fired it up and the meter looked good. The shutter release isn't working and then I realized that the shutter would release when the film rewind lever was pulled then released. Never saw that one before.
I found a repair guide for the X700 and it has a section in Troubleshooting that directly addresses this issue, but the scan looks like it was made with a potato, and it's unreadable, so here I am.
The capacitor has been replaced, clean and new, so that's not the issue. No other guesses after that.
Does anyone have any ideas what the cause of this issue is? The camera looks flawless, other than this issue. I'd love to get film back through this and do what it was made to do.
Any help is appreciated,
Doug
