Hallo everybody,
I'm new in there! I recently bought a Minister III for almost no money: lightmeter is well working (that is the teasing thing) but, on the other hand, one blade of the diaphragm has fallen, and it is seenable trough the lens. My aim is to open, clean and repair. If I fail I will have almost no money loss, BUT, if I will succeed I will own a fantastic old-fashon piece, fully working, and I would be proud of my skills!!!
Anyway, I'm now looking for tips: what to do and, mostly, what to avoid; as I'm going to open it where to lubrificate and clean, and which lube I could use (I already know moebius, but which one?)
Is there, somewhere, a repair handbook? I've found nothig around the net, execpt here: www.kyphoto.com/classics/yashicaminister.html
Thnk You!!!
