Yashica TL-Super: Film advance and shutter will not work on my Yashica camera

Sat, 23 Apr 2022 11:51:47 -0700

My Yashica camera's film advance lever will not pull back very far. The shutter button is loose too, but when I press it the shutter does not release. The shutter looks intact, but may not work. Any ideas on what the problem is? Is it fixable, or do I need to find a new body?

Edit: I managed to get the top part off far enough to take a look. Everything seems to be fine, so I'll open up the front next.

Shutter curtain does not open from 1/60 and faster speeds. Shutter mechanism seems to fire at all speeds.

Yashica TL-Super: Gears stuck for film advance lever

Mon, 17 Aug 2020 15:48:17 -0700

So the film advance lever of my Yashica TL Electro (was t able to find this device for the subject) is stuck and I’ve removed the bottom plate of the camera and I can see the gears that look to be for the lever do not move. However when I try and spin the lever, the gears look like they are trying to move. Does qnykne have any kind of advice for what might be wrong?
