Unwanted “gift”. I recently purchased several bits of vintage photo gear and discovered this hidden gem. From the outside of the battery magazine, there was only a hint of corrosion but after removing the end panel the full extent of the corrosion became apparent. It’s beyond recovery so I was luckily able to order a replacement. Just a reminder to be always checking your seldom-used equipment for hidden and forgotten batteries. In this case AA batteries.

Check your gear and thanks for stopping by, Chris
