hjoseph7 Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 (edited) I purchased a Minox C about 15 years ago more as a collectors item than something I would take with me while Traveling. These days, there are much more convenient options with Digital and all. When I purchased it, I think I gave it a try just to see if everything was working right, then I put it back in its luxurious box. The other day I decided to run a check on it and it still looks great, but the battery was out. The Minox C uses a S27PX 6V battery that amazingly are still on sale, so I ordered one for about $10. There used to be a repair shop that use to fix, or maintain these cameras, usually they would charge a $90 fee for an CLA(clean, lube and adjust) . I'm not sure if they are around anymore ? The good thing is that there is still fim out there, but its quite expensive at $22 for 36 exposures. Then you got to find some way to develop the film. I have the Minox Daylight tank that I still have not used in 15 years and some 110 negative carriers for my enlarger which I think I can modify to hold the Minox film so no problem there. I also found a Schneider 24mm enlarger lens(Boy I must have been pretty serious about this whole thing !). Just incase things don't work out as far as the camera, does anybody know where to get these cameras maintained I also have a Minolta MG16 that suffered the same fate.

SCL Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 Call Don Goldberg (DAG) 608-835-3342. If he isn't doing them, I'm sure he can direct you to somebody who can...but it probably won't be cheap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Blackwell Images Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 I believe Don Goldberg ("DAG") has Minox parts and still does repairs. Contact him - DAGcam[at]chorus[dot]net “The future ain't what it used to be ...” – Yogi Berra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
