Hi all, Am having a problem rewiring my Canonet. I did post on here a while ago but this little project got shelved. So I've been endeavouring to replace a severed hotshoe on my QL17 and previosuly hit a snag where the flash was either not going off or going off of it's own accord. The original thread can be found here, https://kyp.hauslendale.com/classics/forum/messages/15681/12805.html and Richard A Oleson was kind enough to impart his knowledge on the matter. Now getting back to it, I've checked the wiring and all is good but the flash still doesn't go off. In addition to that, I'm trying to locate where a couple of wires in the top cover go that I can't quite place. Here's a photo with the wires highlighted, http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p244/robbie326/canonet-top-cover.jpg From consulted repair manuals I've found, I can see that the black wire should be connected to the centre pin of the hotshoe but can't figure out how it should be attached - the loop at the end of the wire is too big to fit snuggly over the bottom of the pin. I have no idea where the white wire is supposed to go to. Can anyone help at all? |
