1970 Yashica Electro-35 GTN

i got myself an original vintage Yashica Electro-35 GTN rangefinder camera
with Yashinon 45mm f1.7 lens and a close up lens.
produced in 1970.
The original 6V battery is not available nowadays , so i have to do
a little bit of modification so the built-in lightmeter and other functions to work properly.





    a conventional 6V LR44 battery is too small and won't fit in the battery compartment

    the things needed are : Aluminium foil , a 6V LR44 battery , a rubber tube

    put all the things together and now the battery fits perfectly
    into the camera's battery compartment

    without battery

    with battery inserted



   the electronic functions of the camera is perfectly working now.
