Dead GSN and GTNs.

[ully]

I have a couple Electro 35s and they both are dead. Tried new batteries but no meter lights on either one. I took the GTN apart and found a couple of broken leads but still no lights.

I guess I can use them using external light meter but the lens only operates at 1/500 of a second. Which kinda limits their use.

What is the weak spot in these old cameras apart from leaking batteries?

:bang:

Thanks in advance any ideas you might have.

two biggies - both can be repaired with varying degrees of ease.

1. Pad of death

2. corroded battery terminals

Doesn't the pad of death leave the lens open? I cleaned out the corrosion and soldered a broken wire back but both of these won't work on B or Auto and the shutter seems to fire only at 1/500 th.

The aperature open and closes but the shutter time is stuck.

Thanks
