Minolta X-370 No. 2

On Monday, there was a package that arrived in the mail with four used Minolta camera bodies. This Minolta X-370 was one of them. The auction I won said that all four bodies didn't work, but this one just had the dreaded "bad capacitor" issue. I soldered a new capacitor in it and now it works perfectly! Since I only paid $30 for all four cameras, that means this one was a bargain at $7.50. The other three that came with this one was a Minolta X-300s, a Minolta Maxxum 7000 and a Minolta XG-7, which also works because I took this picture with it.
