From 7$ to 70$, Repair and restoring bunch of famous 1966 Minolta Hi-matic 7s vintage cameras

I got these cameras from the unseen camera lot with an average price of 7$ per camera. I got total of four, most of these are broken or faulty. Hi-matic 7 and Hi-matic 7s are mostly the same. Hi-matic 7s has CLC sensor which mean two CdS cell are packed parallel in one housing for better light metering. 7s also has film loading indicator and hot shoe connect for flash. When I repaired these cameras the biggest problem was a faulty light meter. At first, I though the CdS cell was dying but it is not. Maybe the VRs on the light meter are the main problem, I will have to test more on these. Other than that, cleaning and re-lubricating the shutter mechanisms and cleaning lenses brought back all the shutter units. Let's see how many Hi-Matic 7s I got by repairing them. Hope you enjoyed the video and got some useful information.
