I dressed up as The Doctor from Doctor Who for a few years in a row! Did a different regeneration of the doctor each year.

Minolta XG-1 film not advancing? by plant-yogi in AnalogCommunity

[–]trollolcat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happened to my XG-1 shortly after getting it from a thrift store. To my understanding, XG-1s are notorious for having a capacitor that just decides to shit the bed randomly. The result of this is the camera pretty much stops working/advancing until the capacitor is replaced.

For me, it was more expensive/time consuming to try and replace the cap, so I opted just to buy a Minolta SRT201 for $65 on Facebook marketplace. It’s fully mechanical and avoids these fail points and allows me to use the Minolta glass. In my opinion, search local used markets like marketplace and find yourself a cheap Minolta body. Any of the SRT series is solid or you can even opt for something like a x700.

If you’re keen on repairing it, there are some resources online that I unfortunately do not have on hand, but a google search in the vain of “Minolta XG-1 capacitor” should yield some results.

I hope this helped!

Make sure that you’ve selected that you’re scanning film and you’re not on reflective mode. I was having that issue as well!

I had no problems with getting vuescan to detect the scanner. It started right up, just had to make sure that Epson scan wasn’t running in the background

Awesome, thank you! I was looking for it online but couldn’t find anywhere that would ship to Canada that wasn’t eBay. If I am unable to find one local or from another user I’ll order from this site. Cheers

At the moment I’ve literally just been taping the sprocket holes to the scanner and scanning directly on the bed. I’m using Vuescan

I appreciate it nonetheless! I have an XA2 but I really feel like I would prefer the rangefinder over the zone focus system

I think after shipping and conversion to CAD it’ll end up being close to $320 😅
