I think my beloved Minolta X500 is starting to experience failure of the capacitor.
Had some issues this morning where it wouldn't take a shot, despite the power being on and the winder being wound.
Went to the camera shop near work and they said they could do it for £150, but couldn't give me a timeframe.
Seemed excessively expensive to me. And certainly it would be just as cheap (if not cheaper) to buy a new body.
But I've had this over 35 years so I'd like to get it fixed.
Does anyone know of anywhere that does this sort of thing via post? Or if not anywhere near High Wycombe? I'm going to sound out a few places, but it would be great to get a recommendation.
Thanks in advance.
