Adding to my growing collection of broken Yashica TLR cameras is this nice-looking but non-working Yashica-Mat LM. Aside from the dreaded M-sync self timer shutter jam, everything else seems to work. At least I knew this one was broken when I bought it, but at $30 complete with ERC, it was still an attractive buy.  Yashica Mat LM by Greyscale3, on Flickr |

Looks brand new, Mike. Too bad about the jam.

I am a little surprised that most of the Yashica-Mat cameras are not similarly jammed, and equally surprised that Yashica overlooked this design issue for so long. But this one does deserve a CLA.

Is it not fixable? Nice looking paperweight otherwise  |
