Check the white wire from the top of the battery case to the meter board. It will most likely be corroded and ready to fall of. 2. Check and replace the shutter switch return pad AKA the "pad of death". These cause all sorts of weird and wonderful faults. 3. Adjust the release switch latch 4. Adjust the transport release lever. The battery is turned off when the shutter release has returned to its normal postion. The original battery was a large mercury battery. You can use a PX32 which is the same size as the original and doesn't require any spacers, a PX28 and spacers or 4 x LR44 and spacers. All are alkaline cells, the timing electronics is not reliant on the battery voltage being spot on. Have fun Greg
