Film-advance level not working

Nice little rangefinder, but it's 30 years old. If you can wind the advance and the film is not moving you have a big problem. They are really not repairable, you can find them pretty cheap, but remember they are 30 years old.

I recently got Minolta F20r. After finishing first and inserting second film roll I can't reset the frame counter (the way its written in the manual).

I just read your manual. It is confirming what I said that opening the back resets the counter. As long as it automatically winds on to the next frame after taking the shot, you can just count the shots taken. At the end of the film, the winder mechanism will make a different noise. https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1387699/Minolta-Af-101r.html?page=6&term=counter&selected=2#manual You are brave using film cameras these days. I have a Bronica ETR medium format camera, and an Olympus OM1md and an OM4 plus a Canon Zoom XL that haven't had a film through them in 20 years. Goodwill stores must be full of them. ..

I recently got Minolta F20r. After finishing 1st film roll and inserting 2nd, I realized that the frame counter stayed at 34 and doesn't move back. How do I reset it back to 1?

Opening the back should reset the counter. It's not worth repairing. Just remember how many shots you have taken. https://www.ebay.com/p/54950716 ..

Film cartage broke missing parts

To repair this camera will be well over $100; my opinion not worth it. You would be better served purchasing another camera of the same type from ebay. An alternative terrific camera is the Pentax K1000, better yet K1000 SE. The SE has a split viewfinder, easy to focus. The K1000 have microprism that are more difficult to focus with especially in lower light; need good eyes. Then there is the Pentax K2, that at the time was their top of the line camera. All three cameras can be purchased for about $100-ish. Most will come with the Pentax 50mm f/2.0 lens.

Minolta x500 shutter arm stuck

A Minolta X500 is a 15+ year old camera. The shutter arm is stuck in the winding position is an indication that the shutter mechanics are broken. Repair would be way more expensive then picking up a used model. Minolta has dropped out of the camera business, some older Sony digital cameras can use their lenses if you have a number of them. Zoom lenses are usually what comes with most camera kits.

Reset Date Range on Minolta Data Back 70

This camera was introduced in 1985. It is highly unlikely that anyone would envisage it being still in use 40 years later.

Hi I have a minolta weathermatic dual 35 camera and it stopped working. It's dead. The batteries are new. Any ideas?

If the new batteries are good about the only thing you can do is check to see if the on/off switch is working properly. If it is the electronics are toasted and you may have to go shopping since a repair is more than likely not going to be cost effective.

The film advance lever is stuck on my Minolta

Have you rewound the film? If you rewind the file completely and pull out the rewind know, it will pop the back open . . . and can remove the film cassette. While the back is still open, complete the cycle on the winding crank. The winding crank should return to "Normal" arter you complete the winding cycle. When you close the back, everything should go back to normal.
