Hi All. Just acquired an old RTS that doesn't work and the mirror is in the
up position (not the MLU lever). Cleaned battery compartment and installed
new 6v battery. No change but the battery check button functions normally.
Many times these old cameras have known problems that are easily fixed. With
that said, does any one know what might be causing my camera wide failure?
Stuck gear or magnet? Specific clean or lube? Any help is appreciated. TIA
