When I bought a nonworking Olympus 35 ECR a few years ago,I found a corroded battery compartment and the corrosion had eaten through one of the power wires. I did some soldering and got it working and thought that was the end of it. Since then, whenever I would take the camera out, it seems I would have to clean the invisible layer of corrosion off the batteries to get it to work. Then one day that didn't help. So yesterday, I opened up the camera and found that the corrosion had travelled up the wires, like a wick, and caused a bad connection again. I had to replace some of the wire because the solder wouldn't stick to the old wires. Now it's working again. Somehow, I lost the slow shutter warning, but I can live with that. I realy like the ECR for the small size.

I just finished a roll with the ECR and it seems to have been rehabilitated. It can be moved to trustee status, for now.
