Minolta Hi-Matic E

I have got it to fire twice and wind on after putting in 2 SR44 and some tin foil ...IT LIVES.

Now I need to get them to stay in place and do the seals :D:D:D

several hours late .....

The two battery contact points at the front of the camera started to move back into the body of the camera so I took off the bottom plate to find lots of corrosion around the battery wires and I think one might have come loose. The same contact plate mounts to the body and has also moved a little so maybe that has corroded or come loose somehow.

I'm going to write to the technician soon and ask him if I can send it off, at least I did get it to fire and wind on so it's not like the whole thing is busted.
