Konica Auto S3 - battery compartment wiring?

[kuuan]

Hey, sorry to revive an old thread, but how did you solder the diode in the battery compartment? I have a konica c35 that under exposes even with zinc air batteries.

oh sorry diamorpheus I had not noticed your post earlier.

it was quite easy, if I remember right simply soldering the diode between the + side of the battery compartment and the cable leading into the camera from there. To verify you may check the 'option 5 on page 3' of the instructions: http://rick_oleson.tripod.com/batt_adapt_us.pdf , it should make it clear.
If it is not clear I can open my camera and take a pic of it, but it will have to wait a bit, there is still a film inside.

cheers,
Andreas
