Hi,

on a cam this old it might be worth to check the light seals around the backside access door to the film compartiment. The foam seals may be desintegrating at the lightest touch (or even w/o any touch) and cause light leaking to the film.

Quite likely .

And while your giving it a refurb , the foam strip at the top of the mirror box to cushion the mirror often need replacing .

Make sure you don't get any gunk of the focus screen though .
