Hi guys ... I have a Minolta question to ask.
My black XD-7 has decided to break about the rewind crank (grrrrr) and while waiting to pick a possible parts body, I found an ad for an XE-1. Curious, and seeing an excuse, I bit.
It was not to expensive, but I think that I got ripped off ... everything works, but the film crank lever will to rise up in order to open the film door (!
) ... never seen this before.
So I removed the base plate in order to open the body ... all looks fine and the lever spindle rotates rather freely with a bit of resistance. I did a minor dissemble about the rewind crank, but abandoned and reassembled after seeing no issues. Was pretty sure that I would not see anything, but you never know ...
Anyone ever come across a problem like this or have a possible suggestion (?) ... I am at a loss of ideas for the moment and taking a pause with this problem.
The "rip off" bit is that the seller will not reply to my messages and that I paid by check ... this is the first time for an incident like this, which is frustrating, but not the end of the world.
Any help would be appreciated ...
Merci, J
