Simple Fix For Minolta SRT101: Stuck Mirror and Shutter

In this video, I tackle a common issue with my Minolta SRT101: a stuck mirror that won’t return and a second shutter curtain that doesn’t always close properly. After making the repairs, I thoroughly test the camera to ensure it's working correctly. These problems are often linked in this camera model, and when they are, the fix is relatively straightforward, requiring only minimal tools and experience. If you’re careful and have a steady hand, you should be fine. However, remember that disassembling a complex, delicate mechanical device like an analog camera always carries some risk, so use your best judgment.
