Yashica M42 Penta J FILM Camera 4 PARTS/REPAIR Shutter/Mirror Stick READ Descrpt

Description: Please ask any questions before you purchase as all sales are final. Sold as-is for parts or repair ONLY. I did not run any film through this camera. There is a name on a label on the back, which should come off, but there will be sticker residue. There's also what looks like a very small, DL ID lightly etched into the bottom. Camera looks clean. Takes M42 screw mount lenses. The shutter and mirror sticks at the slower speeds. The faster speeds seem to work better. It's the slower speeds that are sticky for both the mirror and shutter. When it works the speeds sound close to correct. I have no way of doing an exact test. That's the best a non pro can sdescribe it, again it's sold AS-IS. You may get a different impression about the shutter. The 5cm f2 lens is a screw mount lens (M42). The shutter setting knob is a bit tight to turn. Viewfinder has dust/specs and is dirty and the split circle focus works. The film advance seems good and cocks the shutter as it should. The focus is smooth and the aperture ring turns and settings are ok. The blades look oil free. The glass looks good, no fungus. The inside of the camera looks clean and the door closes tight. If there's light seals they will need attention as with all old cameras. The outer edge of the lens has some knicks/paint loss. The glass looks good as far as major scratches etc. BUT, there's what looks like lots of very fine cleaning marks on the lens coatings. I believe that's what they are. It's a possibility it's some very fine fungus, like spider webby, but I think they're cleaning marks which are very fine scratches on the coating from improper cleaning. I've never seen fungus that would look like that. Camera would benefit greatly from a CLA. These were made from 62-64 and were the first Yashica to use a 42mm screw mount. 1963 is the approx date made. Please ask if there's anything I've missed as I'm not an expert and there are no returns. NO strap, manual or lens cap. Shipped via economy shipping. Thank You!!
