Hi, I recently got a Konica FC-1 that needs repair. It only takes one photo and then stop working. After re-installing the battery, the camera can shoot another photo and then stop again.

Since it is one of the Konica F-series, the usual culprits are the fouled insulation pads underneath flexible cable connector, and Sticky Electromagnets.

I have repaired FT-1 motor before, but this FC-1 presents a challenge in opening up the top plate. There is no little pinholes to remove the shutter speed selector.

Any suggestions? Thanks!
