She has had a new top cover fitted from a scrapped camera (serial numbers have been retained so she remains completely authentic), film speed ASA ring changed for a spare and the film advance lever swapped from a scrapped unit providing this one with a near mint appearance.įully cleaned throughout with new light seals and mirror bumper.

This was found in a charity shop with numerous problems but has had a lot of love and time put in to bring her back to mint condition. so don't have any film cameras to verify this with.This is a good example of what we do to bring these lovely cameras back to life. I'm only familiar with RD-175, 3000, etc. It appears that the 3rd digit indicates year of production, for example the RD-175 & ActionCam were introduced in 1995 and on this basis all numbers so far are showing 1995-1998 production (not sure when discontinued but the RD-3000 arrived 1999 and this also appears to correlate.) Example 5 = 1995, 9 = 1999Įxample: 19604636 - 9th month 6th year camera number 4636Įxample: 22901010 - 12th month 9th year camera number 1010Įxample: 20701337 - 10th month 7th year camera number 1337 For months with two numbers (Oct, Nov, Dec) the 1st digit is a 2, for example 21 for 11th month (November). For example if the first digit is 1, the 2nd digit is the month digit, eg. The 1st & 2nd digits appear to show month of manufacture. I think I have worked out the "system" of date code in Minolta camera serial numbers, (might be proved wrong as I am not sure exactly when some were discontinued)
