You are saying that the A1 has functioned correctly for 40/72 exposures after exhibiting the problem?Did you try,press,fiddle with anything else after removing the film with exposure problem?Has the camera had a clean and lube job or been serviced?Does the camera have the A series squeak?Your answers may help narrow the fault search. Difficult to say what is wrong really from your description.However IC failures are usually immediately terminal not intermittent, so fault could be dirty switch contacts or faulty flex-circuit connections.Make sure battery compartment terminals are clean and the spring loaded one moves freely. Here in UK you can buy a good A1 far cheaper than having a faulty one stripped down and repaired.If your present A1 is in good cosmetic shape,you can always transfer the top and bottom plates etc onto a working replacement, with poor cosmetics.This could be the cheapest way to obtain a nice looking replacement when yours dies. |
