film stuck in dead Yashica T4
I have a Yashica T4 (non "super") that has gone completely dead
due (I think) to some moisture exposure). I guess the non-super really ISN'T weather resistant :-( Anyhow, was gonna send it in for Yashica's flat-rate repair service ($90 or so) and see what they'll do. (It also under-exposes by a stop and occasionally prematurely rewinds film). BUT ... it now contains a half-exposed roll of film which I'd like to salvage. Since there is no electrical activity, I went into a darkroom and tried to open the back and remove and rewind the film by hand. But I cannot get the take-up spool (the one with the exposed frames) to rotate at all, so the film is just stuck. I tried depressing the "early rewind" button, but apparently it does nothing without the electronics activated. Suggestions ? Thanks, John |
