Hi
I was trying to put the front standard back on the diassembled Yashica FR-1 today and something went wrong.
The shutter is jammed. I wound the camera but the shutter doesnt fire. Everything else works (lightmeter, battery check etc) I think I disturbed some cam that activates the mirror. Any ideas how this can be fixed? I hope I didnt cause a shortcircuit somewhere but that is unlikely.
Thanks in advance

You can try to move the shutter cam and see if that drops the mirror. Take battery out, set shutter speed dial on 1/125. With the camera upside down, lens mount forward, to the right of the tripod mount screw hole there is a yellow capacitor. Between the capacitor and the tripod screw there is a short black post with two springs bearing against it, one coil, and one single-wire-type. With a screwdriver gently push this post away from you and towards the lens mount. This will fire the shutter and should drop the mirror. Put in a battery, wind/cock shutter and press shutter button to test. |
