How-To Clean Yashica Electro 35 GSN Viewfinder Top Cover Removal

I just acquired this beautiful vintage Yashica Electro 35 GSN, a popular automatic exposure 35mm rangefinder film camera from the 1960s. The general disassembly and viewfinder clean method should apply to all Yashica Electro 35 series of cameras as they are very similar throughout the model range. A good quality screwdriver set is required to avoid damaging your camera: https://amzn.to/3KJjPc4 Heavy duty compass also recommended to remove/install 2-point contacts: https://amzn.to/3YNjQle
