Hello Folks,
We have a Minolta X-300 film camera. Long story short this spring it quit. The meter circuit was ok but no shutter and when pressing the shutter the meter display would disappear.
Well, it was an electrolytic cap in the bottom of the camera, 220uF/4V and really tiny. It actually leaked out. Took a while to find one that would fit into the small cavity. Since some of you may experience the same problem here is the part number: United Chemicon APXC4R0ARA221MF60G (220uF/4V)
Mouser has these. I bent up the leads and slipped off the plastic SMT carrier, then soldered it to the little flex. Be careful with those tiny screws for the bottom lid (two different types). Don't lose them.
Now this old X300 contains a RoHS compliant capacitor :-)
Regards, Joerg
