Restoring the camera that was so advance in technology in 1960s - Yashica Electro 35.

Описание: This time I got a chance to make a repair and restoration video about the famous Yashica Electro 35.
It was so popular at that time because of the stepless electronically control shutter in Aperture priority mode. Also, advance in technology because of the use of Integrated circuits.

There are several versions of the Yashica Electro 35 series and this one is the first of its kind. Repairing on the Yashica electro 35 is a bit different because of the electronic component.
Hope you get some useful info from my video and enjoy.
(Sorry for the audio quality, I messed up with the audio recording setting :( )
