Minolta X300

Playing with cameras I dug out my old Minolta X300 before getting married to discover it no longer worked. A search revealed the fault as a common X300,X700, X370 problem of failing capacitors with age. Fortunately on removing the bottom cover the problem was exactly as described in other posts, i.e. a leaking capacitor, evident by the corrosion around the terminals. Now post wedding, I found a near enough replacement at Maplins for 12p (code VH14Q), a miniature 7mm radial 220uf 6.3v capacitor which replaced nicely the 4v 22ouf capacitor in the camera. The camera is now firing again and loaded with film to see what happens...
