Hi everybody,
I'm a new member though this forum has already been great help a couple of times.
I have a Yashica Mat 124G that's in pretty good general shape, except for the focusing mechanism. After some examination, it turned out that the right focusing arm is only moving half way out and then gets stuck. I have now disassembled most of the camera, but the right side is kinda tricky. The focusing mechanism sits below the very complicated winding/frame counter assembly, and there doesn't seem to be a way to get in there without removing every single bit of it.

Has anybody had a similar problem? I could use some advice on this.
