I'm new to the forum - apologies if my questions has already been covered. Couldn't find anything from search though.
I have come up into the conclusion, that the FX-3 is the most perfect camera ever made. Or perfect for me at least :-) I own a well used copy of the original series. It works just fine as-is. As with all contemporary Yashicas, letherette is dead and under replacement at the moment. So, as body is naked, I would have an access to internals and would like to do some maintenance. Also, speed dial is bit stiff, and would be great to see if something can be done.
I do have a Repair manual, but it says nothing about CLA ... no idea what points should be lubricated and what kind of lubricate should be used. We can have extreme temperatures in Finland - currently -22F. Cold weather is the main reason I'm slanted to mechanical gear - and FX-3 has been doing just fine. Any ideas where to look at for instructions?
(Sorry for language - not native as is obvious to all)
