Hello Everybody,
Here is my first post but it's one more time about a yashica electro!

I bought a great looking electro few days ago. The camera seems to work properly but when I push down the shutter release button somtimes it takes time to go up and sometimes it stays jammed until I move the wind lever.

When I move the wind lever I've got the normal clung noise so I don't think there is a link with a potential POD problem.

When I play with the button I can feel like a sticking point when fully pushed. Do you have an idea about the potential root cause for that?

Thanks for your help!

Sounds like something is out of alignment or just gummed up. Either way, it will need dismantling to repair and I guess, if you were to dismantle it, the reason would probably become obvious.

You might find the pictures on this site helpful if you are going to dismantle it.

Thanks a lot for the links. I think I will try to open the camera but not fully. At first I will remove the bottom plate which is the easiest thing to do!
