Some pictures of the inside of a Minox C.
If you just want to see what is inside, have a look at these pictures. If you
like to open and repair your camera, please leave it to a professional.
Although I have no idea what your background and/or experience is, the
assumption is that when you are a professional you don't need these pictures.
I have opened and closed my camera many times, and had one disaster after another. A couple more months and lots of money probably would have got me there in the end I guess, but I decided that is would be cheaper to hand my camera over to a professional.
All ready for a shot (camera is in closed position), the shutter blades are in rest position and the springs are NOT under tension
Here the springs of the 2 shutter blades are under tension (the camera is extended/opened)
One blade has been released, allowing light through the lens onto the film
The second blade has been released after an appropriate time, stopping the exposure of the film
Some notes I made during one of the early disassemblies (disasters) note the spare blades, springs and battery low light switch.
