Old Yashica Camera

Archived from groups: rec.photo.digital (More info?)

Bought a large amount of old camera equipment at estate sale. Interesting
stuff but I am having trouble finding any information about one camera---a
Yashica Diary. I have a sales slip showing the camera was purchased in 1981
in Saudi Arabia. But I am not having any luck with internet site information
or talking to other photographers. According to the instruction book, it is
a 35mm programmed shutter EE camera with date recorder and built-in flash.
Any information or reference sites/materials would be appreciated.
