Thanks all for your suggestions. I had the battery fully charged yesterday and tried to run the camera. The camera would not pull a 100 ft roll of film. I just heard a clicking sound sort of like a Rex5 doing single frames. However, the camera was on 18fps. This morning I plug in the battery once more and the camera lite indicated no charge. So it appears to be a batery issue. I have not used this camera in more than two years. I never realized that a NiCad battery would just go bad when not used often. I guess its like a battery in a car going bad if not turned over in a long time. Is that correct and forgive my ignorance. I am just not up to speed, so to speak, with electronics.
