Received my Model J back from Mark Hama looking like new. It's a long story why I'd spend the money on it, but I'm happy.
Does anyone know the filter size (50mm, maybe?) so I can make a stab at protecting the lens.
Mark did my Electro GSN as well. I can't wait to get the film developed from both of them.

Try 46mm - and there are quite a few Yashica filters of that size out there to help keep it 'in the family' as it were..

Thanks for the info. Found a filter on the Bay.
Bought a Lynx 5000 today. Mr. Hama is going to get some more business.

Here are my J and Electro 35 GSN Mr Hama worked his magic on. The Electro was a FB find for $25. It came with the original box (less the top styrofoam insert), neck strap and instruction manual. The J replaces the one my uncle sent me from Viet Nam in the early 60s while he was on an all expense paid vacation courtesy of Uncle Sam and the USMC. A brother borrowed it and I never got it back.

Picked up a Lynx 5000 for the princely sum of $10 and sent it off to Mr Hama. It showed up yesterday, 16 days after being sent off. It looks like new. It’s nice, compared to the J and Electro 35, to have f stops and shutter speeds listed instead of images of the sun, clouds and a window. Gotta load it up with Ilford Delta 100 and play with it.
