Hi, A fellow co-worker asked me to take a look at his Yashica FX3 Super 2000 (35mm SLR) that is getting jammed. Upon inspection, I found the problem is that the mirror is sliding down slightly and when it comes up it jams into the lens if focused at infinity, or the aperture ring if the lens is set to f4 or f5.6 The mirror is not loose. I forced it slightly and got it to move back ever so slightly, but enough to have it working. It puts quite a resistance. But after about 20 cycles it jammed again. I pushed it back again but the question is, how can I keep it from sliding down? Can I put a tiny drop of CA glue between the mirror and the base? I don't want to do any un-necessary disassembly as I'm not very familiar with this camera. Thanks, Ismael |
