OK, so I recently fixed the POD on my Electro, thanks to kind folks on this site and elsewhere. Ran a film through it, all lovely. Nice optics, reasonable exposures. Now, it's died on me again. I took it apart, couldn't see anything wrong, put it back together and Hey presto, it works again. For a bout a day or so, now it's failed again.
Suspect electrical poor contact somewhere. Anyone have any ideas where might be most likely.
Battery light comes on fine.
TIA

Part of the reason I don't have all my sanity is because of the Electro over the years!! Here's one hint: look at your shutter blades...........if they seem to have some oily substance between the blades, you might try removing that.........if you need help there, contact me @ www.flcamerarepair.com for FREE advice!! Your problem COULD be as simple as a sticking shutter working now but not next week after it sits for a while. |

Also try & demagnetizing the shutter as some of the early stuff people would put on top of the color TV sets & that would screw things up as they have a big coil that would activate to keep the picture nice & straight. Yea, it sounds nuts, but that happens.
Good Luck! |
