SOLD! Minolta Autocord, LVM model with built-in selenium light meter. This is the Seikosha shutter version, meaning 10-bladed aperture. Fully overhauled- stripped down, everything cleaned and lubed and adjusted as needed. Focus system is smooth and freshly lubed. This camera is set up as I would shoot it.
- Later lens installed- 'Minolta' name, not Chiyoka. Original lenses were scratched, this new set is very clean, later coatings
- Shutter cleaned and overhauled
- Focus helical stripped, cleaned, and relubed- nice light touch
- Wind system stripped and lubed and adjusted
- New mirror; original focus screen, clean and bright
- Focus hood and magnifier are snappy
-Aperture and Shutter Speed lever system cleaned of old oil
-LIGHT METER IS WORKING AND ACCURATE!! Well, today it is, who knows about tomorrow. Look, it's a 60 year old selenium cell. No warranty on the meter, best seen as a novelty trick- impress your friends! But really, use a meter or your phone app?
-New covering- Griptac, the best material for a TLR that I have used.
- Cosmetically the camera has typical wear along painted edges, tarnish, etc. 'Minty' it isn't, a good user.
Will come with a cheap plastic lens hood becasue you should use one with this type of camera, and a Yashica-Mat metal lens cap because I don't have a Minolta version around right now.
SOLD! $300 OBO, plus shipping ($15 US, others inquire)
