I purchased two Polaroid land cameras (250 & 125)at estate sales, cleaned them up and put in fresh batteries to test. Neither "did anything" after I put in the batteries. I'm not sure what to do to "test" them. Any ideas?

Not sure what you mean by "did anything". The only thing the battery does is provide power to the meter/shutter circuit during exposure. Have you tried putting film in one of them, pulling the black card, cocking the shutter, and firing off a shot yet?
