Chinon Pacific 12 SMR Question

[Tony Dupre]

Hey everyone,

 

I recently got my hands on this camera. From what I understand, it takes six AA batteries. 

 

I have been unable to find any manual for this camera. From what I believe, the battery compartment is in the handle. I opened up the handle and I definitely see two contacts for what could be one big battery, but certainly not for AAs.

 

In fact, if you put AAa in there they just roll around. 

 

Can someone please help? What kind of battery should I be looking for? The chamber looks cylindrical but I'm not sure. 

 

Thanks

Probably used a battery holder like this:

You might find something similar at an electronics store, might need a little modifying.

Gotcha. I think you're right. I will look around for something that will work. Worst case scenario I can find a way to harness a 9v. Thanks!
