Good morning gentlemen. The problem both of you are probabling experiencing is unique to the Konica FS & FT cameras. When they were first produced they were the first to use pressure connectors between the flex's rather than hard wiring or soldering. This made them wonderful to repair from a time point of view. However the material used to press the connectors together was a rubber under the pressure plate. Over the years that rubber has deterriorated and has spread under the connectors causing them to no longer make the proper contacts. The easiest method to repair is to remove the connectors, 4 or 5 depending when it was made, scrape the rubber off all contacts, clean with isopropal alcohol, reassemble and use a new piece of rubber under the pressure plate. All of these connectors live under the top and are relatively easy to get to. A small amount of soldering is necessary but not much. Good luck with the repair.
