I have just bought a FX-D from eBay for a very low price. It hasn't arrived yet, so cannot comment on it, but I do know that the battery cover has been chewed up.
If the camera is alright I will be looking for, perhaps another donor camera, so, does anyone know if it is a Yashica item only fitting the FX-D, or perhaps will the cover from, for example the FX -3 fit. (or FR series?) Thanks in anticipation.

yashica1943.....I have 2 TL Electro X parts cameras and one FX-3 parts camera.
If any of those batteries caps will fit....let me know. If so, I will drag them out of hiding and see
if they have the battery cover. If they do I'll just send it to you. No charge.
Bob

Thank you Bob, you know I live in the UK? I will measure the cap/cover up when it arrives and describe it, or photograph the remains!. R.

The Yashica FX-D has not arrived. The 'delivery' service state that it was delivered today. It wasn't, I was indoors keeping a look out for that and another parcel. Apparently it was signed for, it might have been, but certainly not by me. I have seen the tracking, delivered and signed for!
When I went to my next door neighbour's in the vain hope that it might have gone there, I told him that I was waiting for an old camera and that I collected them, he gave me a quite good Zenit EM still with a film in! So, I suppose I had better keep it.
The Yashica arrived Monday afternoon, the 'courier' knew nothing about the confusion. Tuesday, I have had an apology from the delivery company. The annoying thing is that I bought the camera and paid for it to be delivered by Royal Mail. The seller has saved a few pence, caused the delivery to be approx 6 days late and put me to some trouble.

I have used it to repair bakelite and plastic cameras and even some wooden camera parts. It is easy to work. sugru.com - Buy sugru from sugru Mickey |

You are welcome. Enjoy! And let us all know how the FX-D performs. all the best Bob Hey there Bob, I too have the same exact issue with a newly arrived FX-D. The battery cover came chewed up and it’s unable to hold the batteries in place, otherwise the camera works perfectly. Do you have a spare battery cover you could donate to me as well? Also located in the U.K. no bother if you cannot! |
