The Film advance lever on my Yashica TL-Electro-X has been sticky since I got it, but it's been slowly loosening up the more i use it. When I first got it I applied a little bit of CLP(gun lube) to the mechanism(by removing the lever itself and dropping a small amount into the body of the camera from the top)
Today, I went to rack the lever, and it got stuck (I'm one of those gargantuan, clumsy, unfortunate fellows who doesn't know his own strength) I push it harder, and it knocks loose, then comes back to the start position and starts acting normally. Well, I hesitated to load up a roll of film, and then noticed, the damn thing makes a clunk when I bring the lever back, and disengages the shutter button about 3 times out of 5.
Not sure if I trust some of the Korean camera techs out here, all they speak is Nikon and canon for the most part, and I speak literally none of the language(just pointee-talkee) so I'm not quite sure what to do.
Anyone have diagrams or anything handy so I can find out what could be the issue? My google-fu has failed me.
