I recently bought this camera at a local thrift store and got some film for it but was disappointed to find that when I put new batteries in the camera would not turn on. No lights on the viewfinder. No shutter click. I’ve researched a bit and the capacitor was a problem for some people and the symptoms were the same but it looks like someone has already replaced it and it has no wear. I’m beginning to thing this is a problem with the wiring but I wanted to double check that I haven’t missed anything stupid.
