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.

Thanks Michael, the light seals were replaced before I bought it, but yes I've seen this with other old SLR bodies. First thing I check now as I get more interested in these old film cameras
