Wayne, You were right, turning the screw would inevitably break the wire. I did manage to find some info and carefully pried out the battery box, (what a dumb design....would have been as simple to just install it with screws)and the wire was either broken before, or I broke it. No matter, it was badly corroded at that point anyway. I pulled the white wire out, stripped the end off of it, and for the time being, I just wrapped the bare wire end around the screw and nut. Still nothing, so I'm going to have to do more surgery. I removed the top of the camera and have found "a" white wire (whether this is the same wire or not remains to be seen) and there is no continuity between "it" and the battery box. But I can't tell until I remove the shutter and lens assembly whether it's the same wire. I wonder if anyone has wiring diagrams of these camera's? Ian |
