    I have followed your process and repaired 4 Canon cameras. 2 A-1s, an AE-1 Program and an early AE-1. Many thanks to you for your clear and descriptive videos.

      Remember : Just a mist of oil, not too much

    Hello there! I also have this camera, but there is a little issue. The LED display inside the viewfinder doesn't work (sometimes it does, just for a second). Is it possible to fix that? Thank you

      rule number one when electronics go awol : Check the contacts. I'd check the leaf contacts underneath the shutter button.

    Hello.. I have a machine similar to this one but there is a fault in the LED photometric ruler.. nothing lights up but everything works normally except the LEDs. Can you help me?

    what oil did you use>?

    • @MrAnalogDan12
      @MrAnalogDan12  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Sewing Machine oil is what I used. Only a mist is needed. A fried of mine also got good results with clipper oil

    where do i get the syringe from?

    • @MrAnalogDan12
      @MrAnalogDan12  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      it's a normal syringe you get from any pharmacy. I bent it myself.

    what if there is oil coming through? Perhaps I added more than necessary

    • @MrAnalogDan12
      @MrAnalogDan12  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You'll get oil streaks in the mirror box, common issue with people who use too much oil. Not the best thing, but it will work.

      I had the same thing happen to me. I'm having oil come into the mirror box. I'm currently leaving it open and soaking it up every once and a while with cotton. Did you have any issues in the long run?

  • @jonathand435
    @jonathand435 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    This is really not the right way to fix this. You need to remove the mirror box.

    • @MrAnalogDan12

      Ok, why ?

    • @jonathand435

      @@MrAnalogDan12 Because it's the correct way to do it. It's the way Canon specify fixing it, it's the way any trained technician would have fixed it.
      I absolutely agree that it can deal with the problem, but it's not cleaning away the old dirt and oil and it's shooting blind.

      Nobody wants to spend that kind of time doing it. So bugger off.
