I just aquired a vivitar slide printer. New batteries, fires up (I can hear it), the viewing light comes on, but no READY light. I tried firing it anyway (pressing the PRINT button), when doing so the OK light comes on, flash goes off, but print comes out completely black. Film is loaded correctly (as far as I can tell), and safety cover removed. Any similar experiences? Any ideas if these can still be serviced?
