Hello!
I have a Yashica Mat camera which I am trying to make workable. My problem is the part of the winding mechanism will not push the shutter cocking arm all the way. Is there some adjustment can be made to the winding mechanism so it can travel farther down the track?
Here some photos:

I don't recall an adjustment, but I recall that wear in the long slotted hole in the link from the winding crank to the shutter cocking lever can cause this to happen.
