Yashica Mat - shutter cocking not pushed all the way

[makkeiczik]

Hello!
I have a Yashica Mat camera which I am trying to make workable. My problem is in the part of the winding mechanism will not push the shutter cocking arm all the way. Is there some adjustment can be made to the winding mechanism to so can travel farther down the track? Thank you in advance for any advice!

Hi and welcome to the forum - I've just noticed this question. I've got a Yashica apart at the moment, but it's a more basic model with manual shutter cocking. Dean Williams is a resident Yachica TLR expert, so if you send him a private message or an email he might be able to help you out. If there's no adjustment under the side cover it's also possible that the shutter might need to be roated slightly or a tab might need a little bend in order to get the shutter to cock. Good luck.
