I've just acquired a Yashica MG-1 which works fine in most respects. The under/over lights come on at appropriate light levels and a test roll was correctly exposed. It clunks when I wind on just like my 35 GT, so I assume the POD is OK.

The only fault is that when I put the switch to the flash position, the shutter remains open after the button is pressed and doesn't close until I wind on again. Please can anyone knowledgeable suggest what the cause and solution might be?
