Hi all,
I have received a Contax 137 MD that is working except nothing happen when I trigger the shutter release button.
Metering is OK, AE lock too, ... so I guess the camera is stuck with the shutter already fired and the motor that drives the whole thing is no more powered or something in between.
Any idea welcome before the surgery 
Cheers

Ok, removed the top, left and right front plates...
Massive oxidation there, with wires cut near the soldering point because of that... I guess it's a hit and miss repair job, not sir all the connexions should be fixed again :-/
Pictures for anyone asking it. |
