Hi, I recently I purchased a Yashica Electro 35 for 15$ on Facebook Marketplace, I thought, hey, if it works, great!, if it doesn't work, Ive wanted to try camera repair, and its only 15$ plus shipping, So i got it, and the shutter didnt fire. Me and my dad took it apart, and found several problems, most of which we have hopefully fixed. The wire that goes from the battery compartment was disconnected, so we soldered it back on, and the electronics worked! but the shutter stills doens't fire. We took the lens apart down to the shutter mechanism, and thats where we got stuck, we found a couple pictures online of how its supposed to work, but no videos. In the attached video, you can see how it is functioning, and that it doesnt fire unless you push the little peg that I pushed, so my guess is that the peg needs to be pushed by something, and that it isnt being pushed by it.
