[Pentax LX] Battery Chamber Cover

Danielog · 10-10-2022, 11:56 PM

I bought a used Pentax LX. The cover of the battery chamber was lost on the first day of use. Where can I get additional parts? Searching on eBay didn't yield any results. I am seeking help from the forum.

Odds are any of the battery covers from any of the Pentax cameras using the same batteries will fit. Just make sure it is the same polarity as Asahi/Pentax changed the polarity from time to time. Finding one in black may be tough if it even was in black to begin with.

Note: At least on my K1000 the battery goes plus (+) side out. My Program Plus the negative (-) side goes out. So odds are you can use a K1000 cap.

Edit: It looks like some of the Spotmatic caps are plus (+) as well.
