Re: Aperture Solenoid Repair

Thank you , KRG . It is exactly the way you have said . To start with a couple of frames used to go dark . Now it is not able to pull the aperture at all . Almost nine months ago `had reported this in the thread and most of the friends suggested to change to white solenoid / file the edges of the existing one . So far ` have not tried to change or repair the plunger . Other than this K-70 is fine . In a couple of days ( a weeks time ) ` will take it to a friend who is a good camera mechanic , 150 KM away from me , @ Mysuru . `could not get the white one though . Please let me know if there is any other problem with the aperture works ... . (It is happening with KS-1 also ).
