I recently bought this Yashica TL for really cheap but now it seems to be jammed. The self-timer moves without resistance and the shutter release doesn't go all the way down. The film advancer moves only a little (I guess it's tensioned).

Could somebody give any hints where to start or what should I try? I've opened the top- and bottom cover and tried to understand it but it seems so hopeless. (I'm new to film photography) I don't actually care about the self timer, I want just the shutter release to work.

Thanks for any replies!
