Yashica-Mat LM shutter and crank stuck
frank_wilson4 replied to thomas_bouquin's topic in Medium Format
Look at my photo in my library to view my Yashica 124G's internal parts behind the lens plate. A screwdriver points to the crank release that gets stuck. It has a very small coil spring attached to it. Oil will free it up in most cases by using one tiny drop between the sliding bar and the housing it attaches to

Also back in the day whale oil was used on this model camera. It is the hardest oil to get rid of -
Konica Auto S2 aperture question
frank_wilson4 replied to rgrambo's topic in Classic Manual Film Cameras
I remove the front and rear optics and soak the barrel for a few hours a day for a week in standard lighter fluid. Let dry for two days and try it out before reinstalling the optics. It had worked for me in the beginning. Now I strip the entire lens apart since I repair more than one at a time now -
My problem was a chaffed wire beneath the lens bezel that houses the CDS wires. It simply grounded out the circuit and kept the meter fully active

Konica Auto S2 help request
frank_wilson4 replied to rajmohan.'s topic in Classic Manual Film Cameras
I started purchasing this model for $5 to $10 each until I had about 6 of them Then I started stripping all of them apart. The one with the worst shutter I completely torn down It was a task in a way but I learned quite fast how to repair these. It takes about 30 minutes to get these completely apart now -
Most likely a loose wire grounding out That will cause the meter to peg all the way up

<p>Nothing to do with the battery if installed correctly. I have ran into this many times with different cameras in my years. The old mercury battery gave off fumes which creeps up into the wiring under the insulation. After a period of time the meter will act erratic or simply die out not working. On the Konica S2 and S16 the meter will be dead no matter what. Canonets are a different story. They can be dead or the meter will peg to the top on certain models before the G-III. Best way to fix this is to replace all wiring were the negative current goes through. Then you should have a good working meter once more</p>
