i was not able to use my GSN for about a month, i noticed this morning the shutter blades are sightly opened?! i cocked the shutter and click to close them.

just want to know what's wrong with my GSN.
thanks in advance!

Has the ''pad of death'' as described on yashica-guy.com been replaced in your camera? This pad in deteriorated state accounts for lots of strange behaviour of the Electros.

hi vinzenz, the POD was replaced 4months ago if i am not mistaken. Exposures and focusing are ok.
I think something inside is forcing the shutterblades to open. Not that big issue actually since i always consume the film once i load it in my camera.
