Looking for a battery compartment (CR2) cover. It's round, plastic and bayonets in.

Thanks! Needless to say, hardly an emergency. Looking for a film camera for a friend's kid, finding the decades haven't been kind. Also a stylus zoom with extremely dim VF (!), an Electro 35 that doesn't power up any more etc. If one shows up, let me know. John

I can tell you my experience with the Canon Sureshot Classic 120.
After the fourth one, I gave up on them. The first one I had was okay, except that it would not auto load the film unless you opened up the back and quickly slammed it closed again, then it would start winding. It finally quit winding all together.
The second one came from Goodwill DOA.
The third I ruined because I had a habit of putting it in my shirt pocket, and on a hot summer day my sweat condensed on the camera body. All those little control buttons are not weather sealed, so the camera controls shorted out.
The fourth one lasted the longest of the bunch, but it eventually quit focusing at the long end of the zoom range.
So as nice a style of camera as it is, with all sorts of user configuration function settings, they are not very reliable.
I can send you a Canon, Pentax, Ricoh, or Samsung P&S that would be more reliable, and have a better Zoom range. And I'll likely find that box before the one the Classics wound up in.
