I've heard a lot about the Electro on this forum and elsewhere. Even though I suspect that's partly because they often break, I decided to get one. Now I can see that there's a lot to like about them.

When I begin advancing the film, it makes a loud click, as if releasing a sprung part. The rest of the operation sounds, and seems, to work fine. Is this click normal?

Hi Jonathan,
Yes!! the click (clunk) is normal. If you don't hear it then you do have a problem.
If you find a good one they are great cameras with very sharp lens. I think the reason that there is a lot about them on various forums is due to the fact that there were a huge quantity manufactured over a long time period as well as being very highly regarded. I have three and they all work perfectly.
I would recommend the "Yashica Guy" website.
Regards
Howard

Good! I'm glad to hear that.

I've had a good look at the Yashica Guy website, and Matt Denton's one was also good. They played a part in encouraging me to buy yet another camera, though to be honest it doesn't take much.

Expect more questions from me as I open it up, and here I'd like to say thanks to all those who contributed to the fungus threads, because I'm going to be referring to that soon.
