[QUOTE="BF Hammer, post: 778142, member: 48483"] Another update: I finally tried loading the N8008 with 4 AA cells. It appears to be dead. Thinking it may be corrosion on the battery springs, I cleaned them lightly with CLR (followed by a rinse). Now I get a red light blinking once on battery insertion, but otherwise no LCD display or any action from the shutter release. New idea, my brother bought the N70 used as a replacement, took 2 test photos on the film I developed, then never got out again to actually use it. He was very disabled for the past 15 years with emphysema, Also the darkroom stuff was found, and it apparently had been on the basement floor during the flooding when a pipe burst. Rust and some mold on the enlarger, safe-light certainly also would have needed a restoration. I don't have a space to set up a darkroom and no desire to try restoration. Into the dumpster. [/QUOTE]
