I have just received a pre-loved Yashica Electro 35 C that needs extensive work. The shutter doesn't fire, it goes 'clunk' when you press the shutter button, the focussing is stiff, and there is no focusing 'spot' (split image) in the view finder!

Mmmm... its been loved to death!

Does anyone know of a good repair person who fixes these cameras? At the moment it is just a nice desk ornament. I would like to get it fixed so I can skulk around with a small black camera and take street photos.

Any help / advice would be appreciated.

Sad! Even though most Yashica RFs of the '70s have hazy viewfinders and faint RF patches, it's hard to come across one where the patch is missing! And a CC focus patch is supposed to be brighter than the one on a GSN. Are you sure the camera has not been tampered with?
