The Mode switch is the same toggle as the drive switch. Does it do the drive switch functions, or is that stuffed too?
yes just as stuffed the switches on the left change the display correctly it seems but the selector on the right doesn't change anything.
the only thing that could possibly cause problems would be if the clear button wasnt disengaging after being pressed. If you have 3 hands you might be able to check and see what happens?
To be honest I paid £20 + shipping and got the sfx-n a 35-70 sigma range finder 2 batteries for it 3 rolls of film and a camera bag with a couple of dodgy zips. At €12 -13 for a battery and the 3 films at €1.50 a pop + the Lens I'm still winning on the deal. On the plus side I have a z1-p coming which cost me €45 so the other bits will be put to good use
It is a shame though the foam seals are perfect the camera looks like it's never been used. There should be some voltage across those pads. either the rectangular pad grounds out the signal from either square pad or more likely supplies a voltage to make either pad go high.
it could be a wire off underneath that board, hmmm, i'm reluctant to do more investigation right now as i have a film loaded but ... maybe a little signal injection if i measure the voltage across the left side pads i guess the selector switch would be similar.
