I have two faulty Yashica Minister D's. Camera One has no rangefinder image - I guess mirror has fallen off, but the shutter works and adjusts well. Camera Two had a stuck shutter which I've got moving a bit using solvent (record cleaner), but the biggest problem is that the shutter speed won't adjust (similar problem with the LV gearing to earlier post, except mine's stuck on about 125, irrespective of position of ring). I would like to get one good camera out of the two. My question is what is the easier approach - I am rather inexperienced. I could a) remove lens and shutter assembly from Camera One and use it to replace that on Camera Two or b) try and fix the rangefinder mirror on Camera One (a job I've failed at before on a Konica 1.6) or c) try and repair the shutter mechanism on Camera Two. Your thoughts most welcome. Thanks in advance. Andy |
