-> 
-> I have a Nimslo that displays the following 
->characteristics:
-> 
->1. Shutters open on the downclick, and stay open
->    untill the trigger is released.
->2. Shutters are dead with no batteries inserted
-> 
->Does anyone have any ideas on what the problem
-> might be?
-> 
->Thanks.

->Ian.
-> 
->While I am here, If I get the films for the Nimslo developed
-> normally (not cut or printed).  Can I then study the 
->negatives before deciding which ones to get printed or is
->the hole process bespoke?

Most likely cause: the batteries are in upside-down!

For this condition to work, it is likely that the camera was "Made in
Japan" (look on the baseplate). The UK ones just didn't work with
reversed batteries. 

If the shutter fails to work with the batteries in the other way round,
then the problem is clearly more complex. In this case, where was the
camera made? Does it have a small printed circuit board visible if you
take the baseplate off?
