[QUOTE="Dornfield, post: 829265, member: 56210"] Hi All, This is a new account on this forum: hopefully someone can give me some advice. I have an SB-26 which has not been used for many years, and now when going through older equipment I find that I did not remove the 4 AA batteries from the battery housing, and (predictably) they have leaked badly, corroding the terminals at least. Both the easily accessible terminals on the battery housing door and also the very much harder to access terminals at the 'bottom' of the battery compartment appear to be surface corroded at least. My question to you is, is this likely to be something that can be repaired and (given that everything is probably repairable for a price), would it be worth repairing? This was quite an expensive flash in its day, paired with my F90X Pro analogue camera body. But its day was several decades ago. If I could bring it back, it would possibly be a useful addition to my current (but still aged) digital body, which is a D7000. Thanks for any pointers, even if only to tell me to learn from the oversight and to put the camera flash into small electricals recycling! [/QUOTE]
