{"id":36111,"title":"Canon T90 DIY Repairs","author":"ATHXYZ","permalink":"https://www.reddit.com/r/analog/comments/1osesj2/canon_t90_diy_repairs/","description":"For the past four years, I've been intensively and non-commercially involved in DIY servicing and repairing SLR cameras from the 1980s. \n\nThe Canon T90 is one of my main projects. It's considered the most powerful manual focus SLR, but over the decades, it has developed some weaknesses. These include the EEE/HELP indicator, the blinking arrow on the LCD, the sticking shutter, and the control wheel with intermittent issues. \n\nContrary to its reputation for being too complicated for DIY repairs, the T90 is actually easy to service. You can fix these problems yourself without resorting to the well-known shortcuts that don't provide a lasting solution. This always requires disassembling the T90 to a greater or lesser extent. \n\nThe good news is that it's usually just contamination on the magnets, contacts, and shutter blades that needs to be cleaned. No spare parts are needed, but you do need know-how and tools. \n\nIf you're interested, I'm happy to answer any questions as best I can from my previous experience.","score":11,"nsfw":false,"grayscale":false,"timestamp":1762679301,"sprocket":false,"camera_make":"canon","camera_model":"t90","images":[{"resolution":"low","url":"https://d3i73ktnzbi69i.cloudfront.net/c79befda-506b-4f9b-83eb-b2a19e81ee8a.jpeg","width":720,"height":540},{"resolution":"medium","url":"https://d3i73ktnzbi69i.cloudfront.net/2d259598-6c4f-4036-b956-175988f9d2d4.jpeg","width":800,"height":600},{"resolution":"high","url":"https://d3i73ktnzbi69i.cloudfront.net/5393f9de-35c1-43f1-9b89-c2dafa906eaf.jpeg","width":800,"height":600},{"resolution":"raw","url":"https://d3i73ktnzbi69i.cloudfront.net/d5f597ac-45a8-41f4-b200-fb8204e41617.jpeg","width":800,"height":600}],"colors":[{"hex":"#b1ada2","css":"darkgrey","html":"gray","percent":0.34293026},{"hex":"#000000","css":"black","html":"black","percent":0.28727411},{"hex":"#342f2c","css":"darkslategray","html":"gray","percent":0.18637659},{"hex":"#7a756f","css":"grey","html":"gray","percent":0.09673282},{"hex":"#ffffff","css":"white","html":"white","percent":0.08668622}],"keywords":[{"word":"t90","weight":0.25},{"word":"repairs","weight":0.25},{"word":"canon","weight":0.25},{"word":"diy","weight":0.25}]}
