There appears to be nar door and no sign of one ever being there. Either that or the mason that filled it in was very good at matching stones. Very interesting shot!

There may certainly be grease/oil on the terminals as a protector and cleaning as mentioned above is a good idea but, there may also be some oxidation. In the 'old' days when what should have been perfectly good batteries didn't work we used to use the eraser from a pencil (the pink ones)to burnish all contacts. Just be sure to blow away the very fine grit. I also contend Lithium is the way to go.

Emma, I had thought of purchasing a 35mm/slide scanner much like the one shown on your link, but over here they range in price from $99 - $129 Canadian dollars. For $149 I bought a Can.. (can't bare to say the name) 4400F flat bed scanner that also does film and slides. Though it is from a 'dark side' manufacturer, I must admit I have been pleased so far. The real point I'm trying to make is; for a few dollars (Pounds) more you can also scan photos using a flat bed.

I believe $149 Cdn$ is approx 85 Pounds Sterling.

Good luck,

Stephen

Hello Richard and welcome to the forum. Am looking forward to seeing some of your pics. Don't know about you, but the move from film to digital was a real leap for me and one that I'm extremely happy to have made. Trouble is I've now got to learn a new language and try to figure out all the buttons. LOL

Enjoy,

Stephen
