I replaced that pcb component,but these gaps are not stable. Sometimes wide sometimes overlap.Do you have any solutions about this problem?

zhong liu -

Hmm, that's a bummer. First I would make sure that your replacement PCB looks like this. The green color isn't important but the contacts should be gold not silver.

You might have to double check the installation, make sure no debris or hairs got in the mechanism. Make sure the sweepers didn't get bent or misshapen.

I will say that the converted camera may not give you perfect results. I usually get about one frame overlap per roll, but the vast majority of frames are good. It's not uncommon for even stock MZ cameras to have frame advance issues, so it might be related to the mod or it might not.

Sam Gustafson -

I solved it! Although the gap is unstable but it has some rhythm. Also! There is no overlap anymore!

My pcb component is silver,not gold.I think it might caused by the film mask which is cut from instaxfilm cover.Maybe too thick that can’t properly advancing film.I will try to stick it direct in the full frame area.hhhhhhh hopefully might help,otherwise I have to get some gold pcb….
