Yashica Minister update - I got it firing but only in self timer mode. 🤦🏻 when I cock shutter it fires instantly. When I put in self timer mode it works 🤷🏻 #camerarepair #filmphotography

All done! Cleaned, lubed, adjusted, licked.
I'll put a roll through this one soon(ish). Excited for it! I love how it handles.

Be careful with what you put in the bag with your camera! Sometimes those energy drinks can start leaking out of the can and it will all over your camera… not a good idea for vintage electronics

Thinking about stripping and refinishing this gorgeous mahogany wood frame and sourcing a few parts that need replacing.

I only meant to tinker 🫣 Can’t figure out why it’s not triggering the shutter. If anyone has repair guide for a Yashica Minister iii or similar let me know. (Very limited info online)

So, what does a naked, gutted Graflex Crown Graphic look like?
A sticky 10oz piece of mahogany.
Pretty cool.
Will work on refinishing the wood to see what it takes, but I doubt I'll reassemble this one.
