New seals. Fresh batteries. UV filter.
I replaced the light seals in this old guy today. Total time involved was just a little over an hour.
And, of course, I spent more time scraping off the old gunky seals, removing residue, and general cleaning than I did cutting and installing the new pieces of felt and foam.
Luckily, I had everything I needed to take care of the seals without having to spend another penny.
I’m waiting for batteries and a UV filter to arrive and then it’ll be ready to see the light of day.
I’m thinkin’ a roll of 36 exposure Kodak Plus X Pan, expired 03/1992. Stoked to get out and shoot with this relic…
Man, that is one beautiful camera! There’s nothing better than that classic Minolta in white on an all-black body. I’ve had a black Minolta XD11 since 1978 and love it.
