In Reply to: Yashica Repair posted by Chuck on November 10, 2001 at 06:43:02:
: Hi
: I have an older Yashica M-II which was dropped rather harshly by curious 4 year old. While all the operations on the body work, the lens and filter ring area got mashed pretty good. This is a fixed Lens Rangerfinder Camera. Anyone have a suggestion about repair places? The camera has no real $$$ value, but it was left too me by my father who has past on, and I want to try and keep it if possible.
Henry Tabor has written a good article on how to repair dents in filter rings http://www.kyphoto.com/classics/filterringtool.html The only thing I would add is to maybe cover the end of the soft wood dowel with a piece of rubber cushion, perhaps from an inner tube.
Now if the lens barrel is out-of-round from the drop and binds when you try to focus or change the settings, the only person who can fix that is a camera repair tech, and it will cost more than the camera is worth. Best of luck.
