- Disassembly of a Minox B camera with damaged shutter blades. I believe this is the same for a model III, and maybe similar for a model C.

I thank you for posting this...I needed a refresher on the focus knob. A trick to remove some stuck shutter blades is to flow a little lighter fluid to loosen the gum in some overly enthusiastically lubed shutter blades. Thorough cleaning will be needed after dripping the fluid in...dry blades and housing for normal operation. Crumpled blades is another story.
Wow! Very detailed video of the disassembly. I have a Minox B and always wondered what they look like on the inside. Thanks for the tour. I will check out the reassembly video later.
I'm going to have nightmares after watching this.
I’ve replaced the shutter blades on my Minox III which seemed to go much easier. Apparently, with the metering added, they have put a lot more inside vying for space. Thanks for your pretty detailed demonstration. A bit more lighting would help!
Thanks for posting this.
Putting the focus dial back is probably the worst part when repairing these cameras. I usually have trouble afterwards with film spacing.
Putting new shutter blades on isn't much fun either, and takes a long time because everything is so small.
These cameras take very nice pictures though.
I was worried about the film spacing too but mine turned out fine. You need about 3 hands to hold all the levers to drop the knob in. The first guide has a semi-good description of the position to get the knob in to fight it back in.
I seem to have missed my focus on my other camera so I'm going to get into it again. Any advice on verifying the focus? At the moment all I did was a series of shots at a known distance and going to check the results and adjust
Thanks for the disassembly instructions, they are great. Now, do you have the re-assembly videos available. Also, any idea how to remove the light meter from its housing (without destroying it), it seems to be glued in? Thanks again.
