Hello,
I managed to drop my Yashica FR.
I could't rewind anymore, and tinkered with everything at hand, including the drive coupling screw. I have no idea what it does, at one moment, I was able to rewind, so I put in a new film. This next film came out completely blank. During this film, the counter didn't move from s (I supposed it got thrashed during the fall). After another film was put inside, I noticed that the counter is now working. I am not sure what happened, or why it didn't take any pictures, externally, it behaves almost normally (the rewind is slightly harder to do than before)
Does anybody have an idea what does that bloody screw do? :-). Should it be tightened lef or right?
All help is very much appreciated
