Allegra Hangen Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Hey everyone, I bought a Minolta Autopak 8 K11 super 8 camera a few months ago in Mexico City. When I first shot a roll of color, everything was fine. But after a while the camera would randomly not shoot, the mechanical zoom wouldn't work, and the battery checker on the back couldn't recognize the batteries. But then the next time I picked it up, it would work fine! I assume the connection from the batteries in the handle to the body of the camera is faulty somehow, but I wanted to ask here if anyone has had an issue like this with a Minolta. I hope there is just dust between the connecting points but I'm also not sure what the best solution is for cleaning connections like that. Anyone have any advice? Thanks a bunch.

JD Hartman Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 This: http://www.super8data.com/database/cameras_list/cameras_minolta/minolta_autopak8_k11.htm I'd search Youtube for someone shooting with one. Maybe they've done some cleaning or repair to the camera and could guide you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
