Older Canon cameras can suffer canon cough. Its a little wheeze after the shutter is tripped. Fixable but a bit of a tear down.

Just popped a bid on a Minolta XG-M body. 11 hours left.

This looks oddly familiar 311654311454

I'll take some photos later.....probably tomorrow.
K1000 is ok cosmetically but light and mirror seals need replacing. Seems to be sound mechanically and shutter fires at different speeds. Light meter is dead although I removed a corroded battery. No response to new battery. I'll try cleaning the terminals.
AE1 is poor cosmetically; battery door is broken. Can't get it to respond electrically at all. Will clean up and try tomorrow.
Chinon is lovely; great cosmetically, seals all good. put 2 new batteries in....dead! Electrics as absent as in my SV. Shame, nice light camera.

4 lenses; a 28mm pentax; 28mm canon; 28-70 zoom; 70-210 (this has a little fungus) All Sigma, Miranda, Ozunon. I think 2 are Canon and 2 pentax mount.
Plus a few filters and bits I haven't looked at yet

Bit of a hack job but if the bottom of the spring is ok then tuck some foil underneath around the side to the top of the spring and then fit the battery. Thats how I got my Polaroid flash to work.

I need a 6 volt battery to test the canon; don't have. Will try to pick one up.

Was thinking of the K1000. They are stupid batteries in the Canons, think mine came from ebay. How ratty is the AE1?

I know you meant the Pentax. I thought I'd try 4 LR44s in the Cannon but they are too small to bridge the gap between the terminals so I put a wad of silver paper in.
It's pretty ratty to be honest but if it works.... I can't test the shutter or the winder mechanism without power.
I can send you pics tomorrow
