I just installed a new "pad of death" in a GSN. Before installation the shutter fired at only 1/500th. Now I get the familiar clunk, but no shutter fire. I took the bottom off and noted that there are what appear to be adjustment screw heads on both shutter rods. Is there anything I can do to now get the shutter to work?

Yes, you can adjust the shutter release shaft on the top end after removing the top cover. The bottom adjustment screw is for adjusting the slide switches and their bottom latch.
When readjusting the shutter release shaft take care that the arm which goes over to the frame counter releases the double-wind latch as soon as the shutter is fired. It can be bent slightly if necessary. |

I tried adjusting the shutter rod from the top one way and then the other, but the shutter still doesn't fire.
Now I see, however, where the Yashica clunk comes from. Its the black rod in the bottom catching on a pawl. When you start to cock the shutter and advance the film, the rod is freed from the pawl and drops back, hence the clunk. Without the pad, evidently the rod doesn't get pushed far enough to catch on the pawl.
But what actually trips the shutter? Why did the shutter work without the pad, but now does not with it? |
