Minolta Autocord focusing lever question

[invisible]

I will be creating a write up with images on my repair work

I'm sure this will be of help to a lot of DIY guys out there.

Got myself a second Autocord identical to the first one, also in really good condition and with the lever moving smoothly and intact. Such a beautiful camera.

Hmm, why two of the same ?

Yeah, still documenting, I keep forgetting to take pictures as I go through it.

It's not that difficult once you take apart these camera's four or five times ... it's remember which type of screws go where is the problem.
I am not going to attempt to remove the shutter gears, I will leave that to others.

If anyone is interested, I will have a CLA'd Minolta Autocord "export" that I will sell once I am done.
I think I will also sell my Ricoh Diacord G (replace it with the Autocord LMX)
