Hi I have 4 konica FT1's in my collection.

They have been sitting for a while. Today I tried to fire one of them. The motor works, however when I depress the shutter I have to wait several seconds before I can take the next photo. LEDs does not work.

I have tried all others and the same problem.

Got new batteries and no good, still the same problem.

Am I doing something wrong?

Can anybody with a similar experience help me?

Thanks,

First step would be cleaning and re-seating three FPC connectors with rubber strips. This is often all that is needed.

Good luck!
