    My XG-1 camera has a very stiff power switch and nothing in it works even tho I have the battery.

    Had hoped this would fix my XG-1! It didn’t unfortunately… Advance lever is stuck. BC turns on, when I flick between off and on, the light meter will react in A or the camera will show M in manual mode. Selftimer runs up to about 8 sec then nothing. After each shutter button press, I need to flick the power wheel. Any clue what’s going on here?

    Thanks you so much for this! I have the AV-1, my fathers old camera, and I am very grateful that you verified that it does NOT have the same rewind knob as shown in your instruction since I'm looking to buy spare parts. The knob (silver plastic part) is broken on mine. The crank works but the whole assembly feels really fragile. This confirms that I need to look for a AV-1 specific rewind knob spare part! (or 3D-print a plastic replacement) Again, thank you! Best Regards, Michael from Sweden. 👍

  • @rchelihaven5027
    @rchelihaven5027 Рік тому

    Just a note on the different versions of the rewind knob. Although as noted by the presenter on this video, the rewind knob part number for the AL-1 is different than that of the AE-1 Program, it is, however, identical in fit, form and function. I have just fitted one. The AL-1 knob can therefore be used as a direct replacement for the AE-1 Program. Broken complete AL-1's can be found cheaper than the knob alone for the AE-1 Program on the second-user market!!

    Had a stuck C lens on a Pro SD, and thought the paperclip trick would work, but it didn't. As Bill explained it to me, the ring must be able to turn, mine wouldn't budge. I reached out and he graciously gave me some pointers. Followed his advice and off it came! Thank you Bill! Like and Sub earned and then some. All you Mamiya guys out there spread the word!
