Looking for Minolta CLE Service manual

[sergio_sousa]

I am looking desperately for a Minolta CLE service manual.

 

It can be in paper, photocopy, digital, anything, but I need it to trouble shoot

my CLE.

If anyone has a parts CLE it could be usefull too...

 

I am willing to pay for the CLE SErvice manual.

 

Best regards,

 

Sergio

Sergio,

 

It is hard to find a repair person for a Minolta CLE. Apparently Steve Choi's Camera Service in Los Angeles is a CLE shop. I would hire a proffessional. Damaging one of these cameras is crime. Ask if they can repair Minolta XG series. If yes, they will be familar with aspects of CLE. Again send it to a repair person -- assuming you are not one.

 

Parts are hard to find. Minolta XG series cameras are good for spare screws etc.

 

As for repair manual I dont know if one exists. Look for SPT Journal, Vol. 24, #1, January-February, 1994. Covers adjustments (not repair) to CLE.

"As for repair manual I dont know if one exists."

 

They definitely exist as I have one and the parts manual, however they are covered by copywrite. Also they are very large, to copy them would take hours.

Oh well... It is a pitty they have copywrite and is so big.

 

I will think what to do with it, but thanks for the answers..

<p>Justin is <strong>wrong</strong> on this very important instruction; this transport lever 'black pan screw' is reverse threaded which means that it's the opposite of his instruction.</p>
