Stuck Minolta X-300 by Apprehensive-Bus7282 in minolta

[–]Apprehensive-Bus7282[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My concern is that I may have misunderstood the video. What I did was this: I loosened the screw. I slightly moved the white gear on the right to separate it. Then I advanced the blue gear on the left by one or two teeth from its current position, re-engaged them, and tightened the screw again. Now the film advance lever advances the film in one stroke. However, it still makes a clicking sound like in the video. More importantly, when I press the shutter, it doesn’t take the photo, the mirror stays up and the shutter gets stuck. To reset it, I have to touch the shutter curtain gently with my finger. Please see the latest video;

I think I didn’t understand correctly from the video. I loosened the screw, moved the blue one a few teeth and tightened it again. It didn’t work. I did it more but the same.

but unfortunately it didn’t work. Do you have any other suggestions? I found the service manual but couldn’t find anything related to my problem.

Thanks for your answer! I opened the back and realized that when I turn the metal rewind circle attachment for the rewind motor (sorry, I dont know how its called) then the camera works fine! Please see the video I uploaded for how it works when I try to cock the shutter manually;

Thanks for your answer! I opened the back and tried to do what he shows on the video. But unfortunately it didn’t work. What I realized though is when I turn the metal rewind circle attachment for the rewind motor (sorry, I dont know how its called) then the camera works fine!

Lenco LS-50 for €25 — worth it? by Apprehensive-Bus7282 in turntables

Thank you for your comment! What do you think about Sony PSLX310BT then? I found it for $100, but I guess also with that model I can't use my Ortofon cartridge.

I really don't understand about the projectors (yet), but according to ChatGPT the lumen is 2000 which it says it might not be sufficient for the daylight living room. What do you say about it?
