Camera Craftsman - Miranda AutoSensorexEE

This issue of Camera Craftsman presents a comprehensive repair and restoration guide for the Miranda Auto Sensorex EE, a compact camera featuring automatic exposure metering. Written by William S. Nehez, the article addresses diagnosis and correction of a flash failure (defective X and F.P contact points). The step-by-step disassembly guide provides access to all critical components: viewfinder, lens, shutter release mechanism, film rewind system, and electronic circuits. Readers will understand the internal workings of the exposure metering systems (galvanometer, cell collector), shutter speed mechanisms, and flash synchronization circuits. Detailed photographs and lower resistor board electrical schematics facilitate fault diagnosis. Particularly valuable for professional repair technicians, this article teaches how to locate faulty connections, test circuits using an ohmmeter, and recalibrate components post-repair. The reassembly notes provide essential practical advice to prevent assembly errors and ensure proper exposure control and shutter mechanism functionality.
