Hi!

I have a Minolta Autocord in a very good shape, but the taking lens is dirty. I would want to open the lens from the front to access to the inner elements and cleaning them.

Is there an easy way to take out the front element? I have cleaned several cameras but never a TLR. Any help would be welcomed.

Thanks a lot,

Oscar

Scroll down, the Autocord is toward the bottom...

The lens elements just unscrew.

Turn the fronts by the edges.

The rear require a spanner wrench

It is very easy
