I have just brought some Minox EC cameras back to life and it has been a rewarding journey! If an EC camera stops responding, it’s probably the electrics. The usual suspects? Corroded battery contacts and those delicate cable connections. Decades of inactivity can take their toll!
Don’t be intimidated! With a little patience, you can bring these little gems back to life.
I’ve learned that a simple electrical repair can make all the difference, even if the camera looks dead. Now these ECs are shooting photos again, proving that the world’s smallest analog series-produced camera can still shine.
Here you can find my detailed instructions for beginners with lots of pictures.
