Ok, thanks for responses. Will try film something not so important and see if it works or not...

Found Agfa Moviechrome 40 Super8 film expired in 1987. It's been in room temperature but it's sealed so can it still be used? Things I should do if I decide to shoot that film? What results should I expect?

By the way, why there is no expire dates in new Kodak Super8 films?

You should be able to find someone that can repair that battery box for you.  Generic battery boxes off eBay made for electronics project power supplies, can be used for parts to adapt to the LEICINA battery box.  Also, sheet metal can be cut and shaped to fit into it and connections carefully soldered.  There haven't been spares available in many years, and  what was available at the time was most likely purchased by LEICINA camera owners to replace theirs or have a spare.  Buying a broken camera just to get the battery box would be more expensive than just repairing yours.  You might be able to see if Bjorn who repairs BEAULIEUs would take on this repair task for you, if you can't find someone local to help you.

Ok, thanks for the info. Quess I need to start looking for repair person.

Hi,

I got Leicina RT1 Super8 camera but the battery box is corroded and I quess two or three most upper battery contact pieces are missing from other side of box so what can I do? I didn't find any Leitz replacement box from internet sites. I quess corrosion isn't that bad I could wipe it off but fixing those missing pieces seems bit hard to me.
