Sold GONE TO A NEW HOME: Black Pentax Program Plus with electronic fault

Hi Everyone, here we go again. This is a remarkably clean black Pentax Program Plus with an electronic fault. I ordered brand new 2L76 batteries and tried two of them. The camera shows the flashing ooo oo, which, according to the manual, means low battery. I also tried two 303 batteries. I mounted a genuine Pentax-A lens with the green A setting. On A mode for both the lens and body, the display shows 1/1000 f/22, but the shutter speed does change as you pan from a bright area to a dark one. The manually-set shutter speeds do change throughout the range, and I think the light meter LED shifts. I did not try it with film - maybe this body does work??

The body is super clean. Batter compartment is clean. Possibly the previous owner never used it. I hope someone more handy than I am can get it to work.

Free, but helping with shipping is always welcome. Please send a private message. USA shipping only.

Cheers everyone.

I’d be very happy to have your Program Plus if it’s still available. My zip code is 94588 if that helps for shipping cost. Please let me know, thanks.

I meant to say, “to tell me how much shipping will cost” and how I can pay you if it’s still available. Thanks

The display shows "1000" until the frame counter has been wound to "0". Maybe it's working?

I read that in the manual. I had advanced to well past no. 1.
