I've tried shining a torch into it while in the dark and looking for light coming out but can't see anything. Now starting to think about the film plate rivets on the back cover, and the screws and hinge plate for the back door. They would all be covered up if I reskinned it. I might try that next. At least it would cross the possibility off the list.

OMG Kenzie, what's that?

Johnny knows.
Its what happens when you over estimate your abilities

Ah. I think I understand.

Well I was going to look at the photo but Photobucket spammed me to DEATH so I gave up. It's worth a go.

Hmm light leaks, the red streak could be something like a very narrow leak so you don't get all the colour through, if you're with me, a diffraction effect or something like that. I would say the tape test was pretty convincing though, just need to figure out where it's leaking. You did have worse luck with earlier pictures on the last film but the change from 13 to 14 is too distinct. I would guess the mirror up bumper/seals, try it on B and see if you can see anything wrong or shine a torch in it like Kenzie says. Worth trying to find a Minolta forum and searching/posting, some of these things are specific to a camera or manufacturer rather than general problems.

Hmm, been looking for one of those Dials. They do a Canon version as well. Quite like half frames.

Not sure if there is anything here that's worth a look for you guys

The Dial seems a little like a Robot in that it has a wind-able spring that then advances the camera, instead of relying on the user doing so each time. Robots are a lot older and more eccentric though.

My Ricoh Auto Half has a wind mech like that. Really handy. But out of my way but a good haul.
Bit battered but I love the art on the case.
