Although this sounds ugly, it has all the earmarks of a poor/intermittant connection. Before assuming it is inside and out of reach, try the standard fixes:

Make sure the bottom plate screws are corrosion free and tight. Battery continuity goes from the cap through the base plate and into the body. Make sure the battery cap is making good contact with the bottom plate. Some 'T's (many, most?) came with black painted battery covers and the paint got into the threads. Make sure the internal battery connection is properly in place and corrosion free. Rotate the Mode, film speed and self timer switches back and forth with careful vigor a few times. Make sure you have fresh silver oxide batteries. Several Listees have reported problems with 'fresh' batteries that weren't, and a second set did the trick.

Good Luck,
  Moose
