Hi everyone,
So I bought a Yashica 635 from Fleabay, appears to be in mint condition but I can't get the shutter to fire no matter what I do
The aperture and shutter speed dials both turn and the numbers change in the little window on top of the lens.
Twist 120 film advance and the frame numbers show as expected. Focus moves the lens assembly in and out so no probs there.
When you try to cock the shutter the lever depresses and there is a slight click, then pressing the shutter there is no resistance and you can see the shutter move a millimeter or so through the lens. But that is all it does and the self timer lever does nothing either, it moves a few mm at best.
I've downloaded the manual and I appear to be doing things right, but still no joy.
Can anyone offer help please? I've uploaded a Youtube video to show the problem in real time.
Many thanks.
