Regarding your two Yashica Minister Ds-- It's not particularly difficult to take the whole lens/shutter assembly off of one and put it on the other. You have to peel back the vinyl covering and take out the four screws that hold the aluminum plate on the body. The flash sync wire has to be re-soldered. The top and bottom covers have to come off in order to get the front plate off. From my experience, if theres no visible RF image, it usually means that the swiveling mechanism is simply stuck and not swiveling. Removing the top cover and poking around will determine that. A drop of solvent on the axel usually helps. |
