It seems that the beamsplitter mirrors of the Lynx series did not age too well. On the Konica Auto-S2 of which most items are some years older (it was released 1964) usually the beamsplitters are OK, and I have used several Konica beamsplitters (even from the Auto-S released in 1962) to repair other rangefinders (on the Konicas the mirrors are not glued in place but can be removed by loosening some screws, and their size usually is big enough for most other cameras). Concerning the switch, to get access to it, you actually will have to remove the front assembly, but the good news is that this is not too difficult. Remove the leatherette, the top and bottom cover, and remove the four corner screws of the front assembly. It is linked to the body by a few wires only. |
