Thanks,
Will try the eraser trick. I have replaced the batteries with SR44Ws and the
batteries are snug. Don't currently have a meter to test battery consumption
or battery voltage.
Opening the camera will be a last resort but I'll give the old girl one last
chance with another film before she is subject to some open heart surgery.

1. Be sure you're using two silver oxide batteries, not lithium or alkaline.
2. Clean the inside of the battery cover with a pencil eraser and make sure
it's snug.
3. Make sure the bottom cover screws are tight.
It this doesn't solve the problem, I'd first check for loose ground screws
on the circuit, but you've got to open the camera to do that....
