Hi Martin,
it's not good news that the shutter speeds seem off. I've not had that
before. But I have had other problems that have righted themselves
once the camera was put through the right kind of cycle.
So, replace the batteries, use the camera as you normally would and run
a test film before shooting any important photos. If this work out,
ie, the body seems to work properly and the shots look OK, you might
save yourself a service job. Let us know how it works out.
Rick.
