Faulty Minox 35 shutter -help??
« on: June 01, 2014, 09:46:21 AM »
first roll seemed fine but now it seems the shutter won't close on the GL... only when I advance to the next frame. anyone familiar with this problem or might know what could cause this problem?

should the closing pin be against the copper all the time like this?

w00t! used some electrical cleaning spray and now the shutter works just fine. :D I'll have to put a roll through it and see if it really works

I must say that good contact cleaner sometimes does wonders!
