I have been looking all over the net for a remote cord (RC 1000s) that will fit a Minolta Dynax 404si. Any ideas please? Thank you for your time. Jules Douglas

It sounds like you may have an issue with the shutter mechanism, most likely caused by a worn out or dirty shutter. I would recommend taking it to a professional camera repair shop to have it checked out. They may be able to diagnose the issue and repair it or, if necessary, replace the shutter.
If you are not comfortable with taking it to a professional, you can try to diagnose the issue yourself by taking a few test shots with the camera on a tripod in different lighting conditions. If you are able to get some consistent results (e.g. the shutter always fails to fire at the same point or in the same lighting conditions) then you may be able to narrow down the problem and focus your troubleshooting efforts.
If it will not work on any roll of film and you are sure the film leader loaded correctly and the film advances properly then the spring on the indicator or the indicator itself is defective. Only option is to try and open it yourself if you're daring or send it in for repair.
The remote cord came in 2 versions: rc-1000s is 50cm (about 19 inches) and rc-1000l is longer at 5m (about 16 feet). Both are discontinued, but KEH.com lists an rc-1000l used right now for $13.00 US. Their stock changes daily. Its a reputable store. You could also check eBay or a local camera store.
