gareth_pillans Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Hi, I've recently bought a Minolta Autocord. The camera works perfectly and is in great condition, however, it has no ground glass and the WLF is damaged. I'm posting to see if anyone is in possession of a broken Autocord, with an intact WLF, that they're willing to sell? Thanks, Gareth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fritz_carlsson1 Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 <p>I had a Minolta Autocord in the 1970s; BTW, the Rokkor lens is superb. I wasn't happy with the focusing screen fitted as, I seem to recall, it lacked a central microprism focusing aid. I fitted one made for the Mamiya TLRs, i.e. C220 or C330. It required minimal adaptation to make it fit and it functioned faultlessly.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerwb Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 <p>The focusing lever is prone to breakage. Keep well lubricated.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aplumpton Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 <p>Roger, I never had a problem with my Autocord focus lever.</p> <p>However if I take your advice and lubricate it, how would this be done without opening up the body? Presumably we cannot just squirt 3 in 1 or sewing machine oil into the gap in which the lever moves.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
