Marcel, where did you buy it? I sold one non-functional to a German guy (see my Avatar...). I am sure he wanted it to be repaired and resold.

It's a bit embarrassing but today, while checking a few storage boxes, in amongst a lot of medium format kit I'd forgotten about, I found another FX-A. I never even entered it into the inventory which is why I had completely lost track of it. So, as you can see below, I now have four FX-As - 1 fully working and 3 part-working.
Ooops - 4 FX-As..
It's time to bite the bullet; get some new leathers and light seals from Aki Asahi, and find a repairer that can get them all working again. Fortunately, the Honeywell focus confirmation unit is working perfectly in all of them; that's a mercy as repair is not possible.

Hi docyashi,
Good to hear from you again.
Consider yourself near the top of the queue...

Can you tell me, where you bought it? Some time ago I sold one defective to a guy who turned out to be a repairmann and seller. Maybe its the camera of my avatar?

I'm assuming the question is directed to me.
Other than buying one non-working body from an ex-member here (who ran the Yashica.org site), I can't recall from whom I bought the others. One was definitely via Ebay from a seller in Germany or Austria but that's all I can recall. I think you offered me a broken one in 2017 but other than the private message on this site can't find any other correspondence relating to it. And one of the FX-As came as a complete surprise to me given that I had not even entered its serial number into my database and so wasn't even looking for it when I found it.

biggles3: I did a little mistake and thought, that Marcels entry was new ... but it is 2 years old. Sorry.
