- Pete tackles a Kodak C33 Instamatic Camera with stuck winder and shutter. No electronics just mechaincs!
He takes a look at the mechanism and the way the interlocks work. Working through and working each part and ensuring correct positioning solves the problem - why it went wrong we can only guess!

Not my usual electronics - but this channel covers any type of repair so I just turned the camera on anyway!
It reminds me so much on the Kodak Brownie camera. My first camera was a Kodak Instamatic pocket camera in 1974.
Kodak sold this point and shoot cameras from about 1905 till the 1970th. It is still the same concept: simple lens, light tight box and a film.
If only I had room to collect old cameras!
If you decide to try getting the film developed, you could slip a note into the envelope not to print if images are indistinguishable
Also note, last time i checked, mail processing offer digital copies, might work out cheaper ;)
Both good points, i think it is the rarer format that is putting the price up. Owner is unlikely to get it developed, she remembered what is on them. I can get the c41chemicals and do it myself for about the same price and have film scanning equipment so i could probably do a reasonable rescue attempt; I do a lot of alternative photography, just don't normally stock colour negative chemicals.
(Its a very similar model )I have the same problem but its the winding gear he is complety destroyed and worn i am trying to make a adaptation with metal pieces
Sounds pretty difficult to me, but I've previously made hinges for log burners and reciprocating parts for hedge trimmers from stock metal, so nothing is beyong the determined repairer!! No parts or spares available on ebay that you could salvage from? No idea of price but JLCPCB does metal 3d printing that might do the job if you have the 3D modelling skills.
@@MakeOrRepair Just to know my gear is made of plastic like on The your camera (my model is 177x)
@@JoaoVictor-pb1ji Sorry, had forgotten what thee winding gear was like. If it will come out and is suffieciently intact to measure I might be temmpted to go the 3D route, even in a tough nylon like material they are proably farily low cost to have printed. Alternatively making it up with molding putty and casting a new piece, but both are tricky if you don't have the equipment or necessarily the experience. Attemtping to add some repair to it looks a bit tricky given the type of material used. Anyway, still wishing you luck with it.
@MakeOrRepair Just one update i tried to repair but doesn't worked but thanks for your hope on me
