So just bought a lovely Yashica Electro 35 GT of eBay. Very happy with it and it's condition.
As we all know these old cameras have battery issues. And I knew this before buying.
There are few options and I found one on YT by a chap called Shoot Film Like a Boss.

Anyway I've taken his great idea and adapted it slightly.
Where he used tinfoil to complete the circuit I've used a spring out of a pen.
4 LR44 batteries
15mm plastic pipe (50mm)
Pen spring.
The spring in the camera and in the mod help to keep the 4 LR44's pushed together. The only extra bit I could do is use a wider spring, something that fits in the pipe better.
