Yashica Gsn Problem
Okay I'm perplexed. The frame counter on my GSN stops working at frame 10. Why would this be? THanks

Guess you should open the top plate and see whatīs locking the frame counter at #10.
Itīs a simple mechanism. Fixing it should take half an hour or so.

Actually, I've noticed now that it stops at random places. And I just ran a whole roll and the counter worked just fine. Hmm.

Merideth,

My guess would be that the mechanism that prevents double exposures is sticking. Next time it jams, press down on the shutter release a few times and then try to advance the film. Greyhoundman is the expert on GSNs who could tell you exactly what the problem is.
