I have a Yashica CC. AFAIK there's no flash mode. Although I understand than there's a pin which is pushed when something is connected to the PC port the shutter is fixed at 1/30. I haven't tried that, but it is a good idea.

By the way, did your camera turn on the red/orange lamps when changing aperture and pointing to light/dark areas? Mine does but does not change shutter speed, that is why I didn't suspect the sensor itself (I thought about some transistor or the timing capacitor).

Very interesting @YE35FC I too suspected something wrong with the electronics but couldn't figure out what. But it would make sense that the CdS becomes faulty. Replacing it could also be easy although I wonder about the proper sensibility to allow working in the expected ISO range. If you have...

Yeah, I would prefer a PDF anyway. Good luck! Please report back =)

I found some manuals on ebay. Too expensive for me to justify it, though. But would be cool if someone bought it and shared it.

Yeah, I'm sad for my CC since I would attempt a more in depth repair if I had more information, but the CC's are not very common. If I were in the US I would maybe try Mark Hama, he probably knows these cameras inside out. As you mention, though, there aren't many things that can fail and I...

I have a Yashica 35 CC (I believe it is quite similar to the FC internally) which has some problem with the electronics (it doesn't fire consistently at the same speed, some times clearly overexposing others underexposing), while the arrows themselves light up as expected. I fully opened the...

I just bought an Opemus 5 with a Meochrom color head. Upon initial powerup I noticed a very faint yellowish light coming from the head. In fact when mounted on the enlarger I cannot even see the light coming from the lens to the baseboard (in ambient light). I inspected the head and the bulb...
