I recently purchased a Yashica TL-Super on eBay for $21 and some change. It
just arrived yesterday and I've been playing with it since then, it has some
problems. The mirror was hung-up (the TL-Super has mirror lock up for the
self-timer), I wasn't really sure what the problem was. I got to a point
where there shutter was tensioned, but the shutter-release was pressing as
though the shutter wasn't cocked, and I discovered all these problems arise
from the arm that allows the mirror to pop down or keeps it in the up
position. If the arm isn't fully up, the shutter wont fire, I was able to
push it up and somehow its in the down position. I don't know what controls
this arm, something in the area of the self-timer I think, but I wouldn't
know how to get at this area. I was wondering if anyone could provide me
with a TL-Super service manual, or had any other suggestions, perhaps
similar experiences. Any response would be greatly appreciated.
