From: Corona on 23 Feb 2010 18:11 Product support of Jap goods evaporates after seven years. Minolta is a perfect example. It was beautifully made, but when my 20 year old SLR needed a small part, the factory service center told me I was SOL. Not so with Mercedes Benz. Need a replacement interocetor, kranzafarber or krockenzoom for your '47 MB Gull Wing, they have it in stock! My advice is to buy Kraut.

I'm still able to get parts for my 23 year old Supra OK. My Minolta SRT-101 is still in excellent shape and still taking pictures.

How much do you think a part for a 1947 MG costs? Probably cheaper to by a new Lexus... If you have enough money, you can get a part for anything - just have one made from scratch. Ed

When one has collector cars, that is often the case. ;) "C. E.
