Hey everybody. I've been reading some of the posts on the forums concerning the Minolta X-370N, but I still have a few problems...
 
The film advance lever gets stuck about 1/4 of the entire advance.  I took apart the bottom of the camera and rea

does anyone have any experience with this camera??

If it is the capacitor try Mouser Electronics. Other than this there may be a switch or emag switch that is bad , All I can say is good luck, most of my work is on mechanical machines..Don

There are many posts in the archives about 370's and similar Minoltas. Sounds like you have a wind overtravel problem and a capacitor problem, already addressed here. Use the search function.

Thanks. I'll give Mouser Electronics a try.

...yea too bad the posts are all antiquated: the links are dead and there aren't many solutions to HOW to solve the problem. Yea, they all

I used the search function. It took three minutes to find all of the dead links with detailed step by step instructions on diagnosing and fixing  minolta capacitor problems.

i am talking about how the links IN the posts are dead. as for 'detailed step by step instructions', I would like to see that first hand provided you have the link.  regardless, there is no mention on where to get the capacitor, and I believe th

Obviously we are not up to your level here. Please excuse our stupidity and go somewhere else.

i'm glad you found the capacitor--but $8.00 shipping...

hey everybody...so i got a capacitor, but when i went to fix it, i noticed the circuitry film where the leads attach to was slightly ripped around the two leads.  Do I have to get a new circuitry film or is there some sort of fix for it?...any help wo

I'm assuming this is a flexible circuit board with printed circuit traces leading to holes or pads onto which the capacitor is soldered. If the traces are slightly lifted from the underlying circuit board it might still be all right if you're very car

I'm glad to see that you got the capacitor A18719.  I thought I would give an alternate source for future repairers.  Go to eBay and do a search for username minoltadoc.  He/she presently has capacitors for all of the X series Minoltas.  And no I am not

I have 2 minoltas one is a X-370N and an x-700. I got them on e-bay... I got the 370 first, it worked for a while taking great pictures and then one day I couldn't get the film out no matter what I did. As I turned it to get it out, the film dislodg

It depends a little on what is actually happening. I'm assuming that the film is not rewinding into the cassette for some reason. My guess is that there's a problem with the rewind button fully disengaging the takeup spool, and if so, I am also gu
