I'm cleaning up a Yashica Electro GTN which is in great condition but has fungus on the lens and lots of grime to remove. I wonder if anybody can help with some questions I have. 1 Is it possible to remove the rear lens group without peeling the leatherette and removing the front plate? In theory it's accessable from the film side, but it seems to be blocked by the square shroud around it. 2 Is it possible to fully remove the sliding contacts and aperture ring assembly without unsoldering all the wires which hold it tightly against the shutter? 3 Has anybody disassembled the shutter and aperture blades? It is a nightmare? The aperture blades at least have a couple of dots of fungus, so it would seem helpful to strip them down. I haven't even worked out yet what to unscrew to get to them. Thanks! |
