Yashica 35 M Repairs

[farlymac]

This one didn't come out as well as hoped for. I couldn't get the LVS system working again, since I have no idea how it should be aligned for re-assembly. But it was messed up when I got the camera, so that made it impossible to ascertain from it's assembled state how it should go back together. I took my best guess, and wound up with a shelf queen.

Of course, if anyone else has had experience with the Yashica LVS system, feel free to chime in.

That's a pretty neat wrench you have there. Where'd you pick it up?

Bought it at the grocery store. It's a jar lid remover.

Something caught my attention when I was going over the photos to make notes on Flickr, and I think I may have a clue as to why the LVS system failed. It appears that I didn't get the shutter click-stop lever into proper position. So I'll have to go back in, and reset everything.
