Yashica FX-3 - Winding Operation Faults

Winding Operation
Phenomenon
When gently returning the winding lever, it stops
midway, and cannot return to the full.
Cause
Perform the winding until the winding lever
engages the check anti-rewind claw, where the
operation of the lever should be checked.
In case the lever does not smoothly move:
1. The winding lever edges up to the projection
due to an inclination of the top cover.
2. No upward and downward plays are found on
the Winding feeding plate ass'y and the wi¬
nding lever base.
3. The clogging of the holes of the counter gear
base and the winding feeding plate ass'y.
Repairing technique and confirming method
1. Install the top cover such that it is located at
the central part of the winding lever.
2. Regarding paragraphs 2 and 3, check the shaft
or base for dimensions, and replace one of
them which is not acceptable.
Note: Check the counter for advance, return,
etc.
Faults that may occur
The winding lever fails to return.

Phenomenon
When operating the winding lever all the way, it
comes to be out of order, so that it does not
return by use of spring tension.
Cause
Because the check anti-rewind claw fails to free
from the set cam plate when operating the
winding lever for winding.
Repairing technique and confirming method
Remove the bottom cover, a little loosen the
check anti-rewind claw caller SS, make the ec¬
centric check anti-rewind claw caller rotate,
and tighten the check anti-rewind claw caller
SS while fixing the slotting part. The above
operation should be repeated until a perfect o-
peration is obtained.
