Dear All,
I bought a Yashica electro 35 GT camera but it has several faults. After buying I experienced several problems. One of that the shutter button is stuck ( it has been fixed). The other one, the shutter blades don't open and it seems the blades are strangely. The third problem is the focusing ring hard to wring.
What is the solution of the problems.
I disassembled the lens, but I didn't find any solution.
Please watch this link and you can see what I'm talking about.

Looks like the shutter is gummed up. You'll need to dismantle the shutter completely and flush it out. The stiff focus ring is probably due to old grease. It's not easy to separate the focus helicoid on these. I've done it once a long time ago and don't want to do it again. But you'll need to remove the lens completely to do it.

There's a service manual at https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FKNyj8dxOQua_q6MpMJAigKsWOGuY040/view
