I have taken liberty to light-CLA a perfectly working Yashica FX 2.
And, of course, I made it worse.
Camera came with my recent purchase of this 50 year old mechanical wonder.
All speeds were ok.
Steps:
1) I opened up bottom.
2) Shook it, to make sure nothing falls off.
3) used brush to remove any dust, there were no signs of big rust on anything gumming
4) applied 2 squeezes of Electric parts cleaner aerosol (CRC QD Electronic cleaner)
5) waited till it dried
6) repeat step 2 again
7) Wound and clicked shutter, I think that point it was still working
8) applied 1 dib of oil (Nye Hobby Gear lube PP269 light viscosity oil)from needle dispenser on each, of about 6 different points (where I could see gears, or sliding parts). And one dib in the whole of a button of the bayonet mount.
9) whipped out excess oil with paper towel
From that point on, my shutter speed appear to be same (anything below 1/4 should be buzzing and then clicking) but shutter fires at a speed of like 1/250 or something (basically way too fast). So I lost my slow shutter speeds
Mirror does not stick.
Timer works
What did I do wrong, and is this fixable ?
I searched here as well on all search engines, youtube, and flickr could not find 'slow shutter speeds not working' kinds of discussions/help.
