Batteries were dying, drained while the camera was allegedly off. Circuit boards and lens motors frying unexpectedly. Yep, some sorry mess. Rollei never recovered from that, among other reasons. It lasted through two model generations, the SLX and the 6006. For a while one could find them being given away in the back pages of Popular Photography. By then, one could count on one hand how many 'real' dealers could be found nationwide.
