pc1 Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 Hi Guys, my first time to post in here , and i need help,i'm sure Martin would know the answer . I have 2 Minox 35s : one is a GT (which works flawlessly for the past 5 yrs.) and an EL (i'm having trouble with the shutter on this one).Just recently , the shutter would sometimes stick,sometimes it's fine. do i have to send this to Germany for a CLA? or is there a cheaper/easier remedy that i could try first myself? or sell it , and buy another GT? would appreciate any comments and suggestions from you guys that are knowledgeable with problems with Minoxes .. thanks , pc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTC Photography Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 Paul, the inside of you Minox camera may be clogged by dust, see category "tips on repair" for how to clean the magnets http://www.photo.net/bboard/q-and-a-one-category?topic_id=1561&category=Tips+on+repair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james_ogara1 Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 I had this problem but ended up buying a MINT 35 GL/flash for $100 -- les than the cost of a cleaning, and I probably got taken at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
