I got the mirror working correctly on my Minolta SRT 101. The foam is bad but was not the main issue. I am not a camera expert and I do not recommend this. I put a couple drops of gun oil on the gear that controls the mirror. Test fired several times at all shutter speeds and the mirror returned every time. The camera was 12 dollars so I took a risk. If this camera had cost 50 dollars I would have sent it to a professional. So now I'm ready to hear glad you fixed it. Also comments that I did the wrong thing are also welcome. Thank you(-:

I recently bought a Minolta SRT 101 with the black knob for 12 dollars. I really like this camera but has an issue with the mirror. The mirror stays up when the shutter button is pushed. When I advance the shutter it comes down. Sometimes it work correctly. It does needs new foam. What other issues can I check and can I lube a gear to fix this? What kind of lube oil is best to buy? Can I take photos in its current state or does the mirror issue need to be fixed now? Its been a while but I would appreciate any advice.
Thank you , Dennis
