Tom,

It's a long shot, but you may want to check the contacts in the battery
compartment. Perhaps they're corroded. Also, does this body have the
black-painted battery and MD covers? According to John H. they can cause
problems. I'm sure you have some chrome covers lying around somewhere.

Hope that's all it is,

Paul Schings
