The second most common cause would be a corroded & broken wire at the battery terminal. This (unlike the terminal separation issue) is not a Konica problem per se, it happens to all cameras. It always seems to affect the wire attached to the (-) battery terminal, and always at the end closest to the battery... for this reason I expect that galvanic corrosion is involved. I don't know an easy way to confirm this, as the affected part of the wire is hidden up above the battery box, you still have to pull the mirror box to reach it. The corroded wire can't be resoldered, you'll have to cut it back at least an inch or two before you find good copper you can solder to (if this is the problem). I have sketches of the T disassembly that I'll be happy to share if you'd like a copy. email me at [email protected] |
