I have an AGFATRONIC 221 CB charger. It now charges in 16 seconds; it used to charge in 8 seconds. This happened because it overheated while I was testing it. I've researched it, and it could be the electrolytic capacitor, transformer, diode, or charging circuit board. With fresh rechargeable...

Yesterday Saturday I got the courage to take the shutter apart, of course the one that was changed! That's when I realized that the screwdrivers I had were useless because they only had #0 and they should be narrower and finer cross JIS #00, #000 and #0000, it took me a while but I had a lot of...

Hello Andreas, I hope you are well my friend, I tell you that I bought on eBay a body that has the lower LCD in good condition, the upper LCD is useless but finally I have a precious body to practice disassembling and assembling the body, I also bought a set of JIS screwdrivers, what I could not...

Good morning Andreas That is why it is very important that people like you bring this forum to life so that people who are interested in preserving these historical pieces can know where to start. When you have the opportunity, could you be so kind as to explain why the flash ready signal and...

Good morning Andreas I have this problem with my DP-20, it doesn't recognize that the SB-22s is mounted on the F4 nor that the SB-700 is mounted in manual mode, I have cleaned several times all the hot shoe contacts, those on the body of the F5, and the gold plated contacts with DW-40 at first...

Hello Andreas Impressive contribution, especially the skill shown in disassembling such a fragile camera, incredible that those of us who knew it existed never thought it was. This camera was used by John Hedgecoe, a British photographer who passed away some years ago. I liked to read his...

Hello good friend Excellent thread, a few years ago I saw that piece on e-bay, I should have bought it, now I have to buy a viewfinder that is very damaged on the outside to hopefully get an LCD in very good condition.

Hi friend I already have my F4 at home, the technician did a good job, I just tested it with a roll of Ilford Pan 100 film and I hope to develop it next week, the shutter sounds and looks incredible, this camera made 30 years ago came back to life, the shutter is an old new part that was...

Excellent contribution!

I don't have the filter located correctly, but you do have to locate it. Before mounting the rewind motor, it must be adjusted to 0.4 lower end of the shutter.

The manual does not indicate that the shutter cable was unsoldered.

You must disassemble the lower flexible printed circuit board, there are three screws and then the motor with its base, there are three screws, the rewind shaft with its gears and terminals come out alone, when assembling you must adjust a filter actuation sensor, that is a small plate that is...
