I have several of these cameras already that have been refurbished by Mark Hama and so the extras need to go. Two of the cameras are working and being offered with batteries but that will need to have a CLA done to correct the dreaded POD. The rest are in excellent condition but have electrical problems that is keeping them from working properly. The cameras that I had done by Mark all work flawless and were not that expensive to have done if you consider a little over $100.00 inexpensive, but to me it was well worth it.

First up is a black Yashica G-GT with the Yashinon-DX 45/1,7 lens. The body on this camera is immaculate and the lens is the same with no fungus and no oil or rust on the blades. It has a small amount of corrosion in the batterie compartment so that leads me to believe that the terminal ends inside need to be cleaned and resoldered to make it operational. It also has the tell tale pop that indicates POD when advancing film. Asking $35.

Next up is a silver version in GS trim with the Color--Yashinon 45/1,7 lens. This camera is the same as the black GT but without the POD pop. A small amount of corrosion is keeping it from working properly. Asking $35.

Another silver GS but this one is operational unfortunately it does have the POD pop but I have never noticed any problems in negative spacing that indicates a major problem but it should be taken care of with a CLA. Asking $45 with a battery.

The Yashica MG-1 is another working camera in great shape. The Yashinon 45/2,8 lens is clean and clears with clean and dry blades. This camera also has the POD pop but I still have yet to experience any problems with it but a CLA is still in it's future. Asking $45 with battery.

Finally the B&H/Canon Canonet 17. This camera looks great but for some reason the shutter does not want to work. It has the Canon SE 45/1,7 lens that is free of fungus or fogging and the blades a are clean and oil free. I had planned on taking the lens apart and flush it out with lighter fluid but just never got around to it. There is some corrosion in the battery compartment and I have never gotten around to finding a battery for it either. Asking $25.

All of the cameras come with cases were all the snaps and clasps are present and working, a rarity in and of it's self. Shipping will be $10.00 per camera but if you buy more than one shipping will be figured by weight but I will try to keep it as inexpensive as possible.

POD stands for "Pad Of Death", a not so technical term that references the bumper pad in the film advance mechanism meant to reduce the noise when operating properly. Over time this pad deteriorates and is evidenced by a loud pop or click when the film is advanced. It usually creates a spacing concern of the pictures but if let go long enough the pad material can work it's way into other areas of the camera. It is a problem prevalent in the Yashica models and should be taken care of for proper operation of the camera.
