Hello everyone,
This summer I bought a Minox GT35: a neat machine, but which didn't work. After some fiddling around, I managed to fix everything that *was* wrong with it... But I caused a few more problems instead.
Namely, all the twisting and turning and pulling I did with the lens means that some of the tiny wires in there got desoldered. It's nothing too bad, I could fix it; but since I have no foresight or decent macro camera, I have no reference pictures I can use to know what goes where:bang:
So I'd be incredibly grateful if one of you could take a picture of the shutter mechanism in their own machine (revealing it is quite easy, instructions can be found here: https://www.flickr.com/groups/64918224@N00/discuss/72157612937954151/ ). In particular I need to know where the black and yellow wires go.
I managed to take a decent picture (after the fact, sadly); here you can see the top half of the lens, with one yellow wire hanging limp and the black one which is loose on both sides.
Also, if someone knows how to fully remove the lens from the camera's body, I'd be glad for the instruction. The way I do it now is by just unscrewing the screws holding it in place and letting it hang by the wires, which we can all agree isn't too great (and I fear it might not be enough to access the black wire's attachment points)
Thank you in advance for your help!
