  • Stuck film advance lever in Olympus OM20, it was the little spring that was off the little pin so it was not possible to advance the film.

    THANK YOU SO MUCH for making this video. After watching my camera was functional in three minutes and that’s not an exaggeration. I really appreciate your time in putting this video on TH-cam!

    I love youtube for exactly stuff like this!!! I have an old Olympus OM-G I bought back in the 80s as my first "real" camera. It had this exact problem. I took it to a camera shop and they said it would probably be 2 or 3 hundred dollar to fix IF they could find the parts. Found this video and 5 minutes later, it's working like a champ!!! Thank you!!!

    Thank you for this video, my springs were misaligned and simply putting them back into place resolved the issues I was having with my advancer. Saved me £120 that I was quoted from a camera repair company!!!

    Thank you so much for this video! I have the same camera which I bought just a while ago, and it got stuck like this after my second roll. I took it to a repair shop, they said it would take 2-3 days and quite a bit of money, and I guess they did not know exactly what was wrong. So I decided to handle it myself and managed to fix it in minutes thanks to you. Have a great life!

    I have a praktica bc1. The shutter fires fine without film installed but when I load a fresh roll the film won't advance. Is it worth getting repaired. Sometimes I have to manually return the screw underneath by hand for the shutter to fire?

    My film advance isn't stuck but the tooth thing that holds the gear won't allow it for me to shot. I usually shoot with dlsr so I have no idea what anything is called aside from basics and film advance lever with works find the issue is at the bottom and is not the spindle

  • @JamesE707
    @JamesE707 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Nice find Kenneth!
    Of note too, I have noticed that in later OM models like the OM10, OM20 (here) and OM4 bodies employ a modified 'frame' that holds and connects the idler gear + film curtain gear. Olympus must have had problems over the years with earlier designs on their OM1/OM2s?
    I have a problem with my OM2N - the idler gear's return spring is too weak, hence the jamming. I need to go and find some torsion springs online and modify them to fit. :o)
    regards
    James.

    • @mikeno62
      @mikeno62  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank's James, If you can find another not working camera you maybe could take part's from that and in that way use it in OM2N. (just an idea)

    Does the same thing happen with minolta X series cameras?

    • @mikeno62
      @mikeno62  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      I have no idea because I have not worked much with Minolta camera's. But many old cameras will, over time provide the almost same issue's, and if can often help with some lighter fluid and sewing machine oil. And in other cases one need to take some part of the camera apart and clean the part's and lube it again.

    I have a Olympus 4ti that seems to have the same problem. I opened it and did the same procedure as you, but I didn’t have the oil/liquid, so it was back to the same problem again. I must buy some oil/liquid to fix it, can you just tell me what you used? I’m pretty nervous to drop some wrong liquid into the camera.... 😱
    Thanks again.

    • @mikeno62
      @mikeno62  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You can use 2-3 drops of Isopropylalcohol 70% - 99% on a cotton bud, and then lube it with 1 (one) tiny drop of the very thing sewing machine oil.
