RE: [OM] [OT] New batteries for my Dad's cameras

[andrew fildes]

Stephen Gandy at www.cameraquest.com knows ALL about 'F' finders and 
even has someone who can fix the 'ring resistor' problem in these 
finders - not cheap tho' but anyone else will tell you that it can't 
be done - he'd be the person to ask about suitable replacement 
batteries or other workarounds.
He has a page under Classic Camera Profiles on the 8 different 
variations made for the F - http://www.cameraquest.com/nfinder.htm
