Surely thats too much voltage isn't it? It seems to work but will the exposure meter be incorrect? I understand Yashica's have a wide latitude of voltage tolerance but this is quite a lot. You see the two PX640 batteries were 1.35 volts each (2.7 volts) but now I have 4 LR44's in there which is 4 x 1.5 volts = 6 volts. I did the double LR44 method with some aluminum foil but now am a little confused. You could use a scrunched up piece of aluminium foil if you like. In the other slot I just stuck in a spring I got out of an old ball point pen. Thanks in advance.ĭid you find the batteries? Another road is to buy the adapters on eBay and us the SR44.Ģx SR44 will fit in one of the 640 battery slots. The SR44 is more easily avialalbe though. In another thread SR44 is mentioned while in other places LR52/PX640A is mentioned. I am a bit confused about the right batteries.
I recently rediscovered it and am itching to try it.
I have had a GX which was bought new by my father visiting Japan in 1976.
