Hi,

My SRT 202 is jammed, no film advance, no shutter release button down, not even rewind button released, and I have been trying to fix it. I know I should have found how far it went in the shutter sequence but have already messed it up. I mean I unhooked a lot of places on the bottom.

What I'd like to do is trying do the sequence from the beginning. It is, however, I need to release shutter curtains first in order to do that.

Is there anyone who knows where I should unhook to get the curtains back to the released position?

Or, Any idea to fix the original problem?

Thanks in advance.

Take a look at these two links and find out whether they are useful: among other things the first one is about the basic function of the SR-T's focal plane shutter, the second link takes you to a SR-T repair manual (101 actually, basic model, very similar to other earlier Minolta SLRs) .

Asking is never too late, I hope, W.

Wernerjb,

Thank you for giving me the links.
I was impressed about the information on those sites.
I have, however, still not been able to find "lever" or "latch" to release shutter curtains.


Again, thanks anyway.
