Yashica FRI | FR1 stuck shutter | top removal, opening, disassembly

- Since the camera suddenly stopped working, I tried to open it and look for a solution. Luckily I managed to disassemble and assemble it again getting a working camera!
Obviously I forgot to film this part since I was looking for the problem by myself...
If I remember correctly opening the camera the way showed in the video wasn't even neccesary! The problem was on the lower side of the camera. This disassembly is very easy and if you open it, you can find the problem easily.
Sadly this was not my camera and I don't own it anymore, but I hope this helped you

Anyone in the future who is wondering what the problem might be, since the video did not show the repair. Basically, on the bottom of the camera, take out the three screws and remove the bottom cover. Next look around a bit for a small lever. It's not very obvious, but you will find it. Tinker around, just don't force anything. You'll tap or push a lever very so lightly and that should fix it. Again, you don't need to force things, just a slight move of a metal piece.
I managed to fix the issue in less than 15 minutes with nothing more than a Swiss Army Knife to take the screws off the bottom.
Extremely helpful comment! Just fixed my shutter because of you.
PhD Executive ; Excellent reply mate. Simple and to the point. Well done.
I got yashica tl electro x from my father. All working fine, except for the lever transport. So every time i move and release the lever, shutter release immediately without even pressing the shutter button. Can you tell me what is wrong with my camera?
Sorry for my bad english. Looking forward to hear from you. Thank You
Do you have a picture to find the lever?
@@davidcoyote2725 could you please help me and tell me where the Lever is
Thx
you should just change the title to :Yashica FR top removal. thanks for posting this.
good video on how to remove the top plate.
you didn't show the important part like seriously I was this close to learn the solution and them boom...c'mon mate
yeah, since I got the very same Problem I was kinda disappointed
Yes I'm sorry, obviously I forgot to film this part since I was looking for the reason by myself...

The bottom side where the battery is stored. You can see it here

So I just go my camera yesterday from a flea market. I've never owned an actual camera and was hoping you could help. I don't any terminology. The black lever you crank back won't go very far and I'm not sure if that's what you are fixing. Please Help.
Than you for this video from Spain,For Yashica FR2 is same.Thank you.
At least I know now how to open my FR1.
Nice video you help me very much!
Eugene ; You should show how to dismantle a lens.
What type of battery should you use ? I can't find the reference 🙁
Thx Eugen
I'm trying to disassemble the front C/Y mount of a Contax RTS because the aperture notification ring is no more attached. A spring must have gone.
I unscrewed the 4 front ring, then the 3 copper screws. Then... I hesitate. Have you done it and what's the right way to access to the aperture notification ring ?
i would never dare to disassemble a camera like that :O
If it's not broken, don't disassemble it ;)
ACID SNOW ; Main thing is to not be afraid of trying and never *force* anything. So, ave a go ya mug ;-).
plz reply to me as fast as possible ..Now the Shutter swing ( i dont know its name ) is now going everywhere and not working i tried to remove the screw when i removed it it made a sound that it was stuck and when i pressed the shutter ir worked but when i replaced it again .i think i over pressed on the Screw that made the hole in that swing that connects it with the Machine Became bigger and not Sticking with the machine .What should i Do get a new Swing ?!
i cant get the ring around the release button off. in the video you just open it with your fingers but that is not possible for me, it is far too tight. any tips would be appreciated. would wd40-ing the button to loosen the screw mess anything up?
Hello Tony,
I don't think wd40 would reach the thread. I would try it with a leather cloth and some sort of clamp to get better grip and not scratch the release knob.
Hi, i got my fx3 repaired, well not totally repaired, since the only problem was the battery cap got destroyed, i can't open it with a coin, so i decided to go to the camera shop for a replacement of the cap. Then after some time, the mirror keeps on getting stuck, it wasn't a problem before i went to the shop. Any idea why it happened?
YAHOO have you tried to loosen or remove the cap? Maybe the new cap adds higher stress so that the shutter gets stuck?
Eugen Hottmann I have, is it possible that the cap adds stress? I don't see the connection
Well, did it work without the cap? The thread in the cap and case adds strain to the case if the cap gets tightened too hard.
How did you remove that piece at 2:25 , I'm trying but nothing works, Im just straching the thing
Try with a needle and remove the dirt in the gap. The piece is glued...
Im trying wuth the needle right now but ts not working, btw thank you for the fast reply
I opened it finally but i dont see the thing where its stuck
Have you tried to free it like PhD executive explained in the pinned comment?
What's the point of opening a camera and not showing what the real problem is.
Just read the other comments
Why are you restricting the advance lever after cocking it? Let it return on its own. Also, why didn't you show the hook you mentioned?
I didn't realize which hook it was because it happened off camera and didn't need any force. So I simply didn't know how I can reproduce the stuck shutter. I am no professional and this was my first time doing something like that. Maybe because of that I restricted the advance lever or it simply was not returning back by itself :)
@@h07d0q Watch the video. You were holding the lever and resisting its natural return movement. If you are an amateur, why are you doing instructional vids?
@@rakautzphoto6901 what are you trying to achieve? If you don't like the video go on.
When I uploaded the video I didn't find any video someone showing how to open the camera. That's always when I upload a video.
Even when I am an amateur, this video already helped a lot of people (reading the comments or watching the video) and I saw people posting a link in camera forums (where I don't participate).
What have you done helping other people in the UA-cam community besides trolling around? I guess "R A Kautz Photo" stands for someone professional - why don't you upload a video showing how you disassemble a camera you never opened, that's not yours, you don't own anymore, not doing any mistake (I don't know if it is a mistake I made letting got the lever slowly, even because there was no cartridge installed...).
PS: If the website fotokautz.de is yours I propose that you update the imprint and enter some legal person...
@@h07d0q Jerk. That isn't mine. Way to randomly insult someone. though. That's more proof that you are a hack. BTW, if you can't accept a little criticism, DON'T PUBLISH VIDEOS.
I was expecting somethging from you video, but ....nothing quite useless I am sorry
But you could have read the comments. Maybe you take a better video of your problem and how you solve it?
Wast of time show the problem..
Well that is 7mins of my life wasted learned nothing why bother it dosnt show the fix
