When I got my Yashica 35, there where of course no power on the battery
The cam was born using E164. E164 is impossible to buy today. I therefore tried a 476A. Problem is the size, 476A is smaller in every way. The spec is the same.
A pack of gum and some tape, a spring from a old flashlight is all that is needed. Works perfect.
This cam is getting popular ion MFlences, so I tough I would share my DIY solution.

Nice to see your version 
All the Electro-35 users end by making one. I used a body of an old marker for it: http://forum.mflenses.com/dedicated-to-andy-finally-i-got-to-manage-it-t4250,highlight,yashica+battery+adapter.html
Good job, Lahnet!

I do prefer simpler solutions... I think F16sunshine did something similar with a transparent pipe and a spring, much simpler than mine, but I cannot find it in the forum. And yours is simpler as well 
The best approach is the one that works...

Have you seen the plastic tubes with metal contacts at the end on ebay? Like $10 shipped for a pair...quite an elegant solution.
I'll be picking up GSN #2 soon from a local seller...maybe the meter will work on this one

Hi All,
Just rec'd a mint chrome GSN from a coworker, and Google for a battery replacement. Lithium 123 batteries came up, but those are 3 volts each x 2 = 6 volts...wouldn't that blow out the circuits?
Tho' I like the idea of not having to use springs/tubes/etc.

Thoughts?
