In Reply to: Canon T70 film advance posted by Gary Moulton on May 30, 2001 at 13:27:53:
: I have a Canon T-70 that will rewind the film ok but has
problems advancing the film. In fact, once it would not advance a
new roll after a rewind, even with fresh batteries. I could trip
the shutter and the frame counter would advance but not the film.
After a couple of days "healing up" it finally advanced
the film (sounded labored though). Any thoughts on this?
: Thanks in advance.
Gary,
First before you write it off, make sure the battery contacts are clean by using an old eraser. It's a 15 year old camera, worn film advance gears, it may be about to fail. Problem is, the only parts available for the Canon T70 have to be obtained from cannibalizing another T70. (It's possible the film advance gears may be identical in all T series cameras), but any way you cut this, getting a 15 year old camera worked on is going to cost more than the camera is worth.
