Trying to find a Battery Cap / Cover for a Spotmatic II. If I recall correctly -- its been YEARS so I could be WRONG -- the Pentax K1000 is essentially the Spotmatc II with a different Lens mount. Would the Battery Cover for the K1000 fit the Spotmatic II?? I inherited the Spotmatc II but it is minus the battery Cap / Cover. The camera appears to be in good shape and was well taken care of. The lens 55mm f/1.8 is clean, as is the 200mm f/4.0. I've seen Battery caps for the K1000 but none for the SPII. Are there any silver oxide batteries that will fit the SPII are all of them Zinc Air Batteries??

While I am here the camera at some point probably needs to be to be serviced. Any help you could provide in rehabilitating this Oldie but Goodie would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi,
where are you located? I recommend Eric Hendricsson, Pentax27@aol.com. See also the sticky on top of the forum pages.

I have several parts Spotties. PM me your mailing address and I'll mail you a battery cover (assuming they're not already gone

).

Hi there, I know this is an old thread (and sorry for hijacking it), but could you still have a battery cover for a Spotmatic SP II? Thanks so much in advance!

Alas, I have no more battery covers.

There’s this on eBay

That's too bad!

Thank you so much for going through the trouble of checking! I appreciate it.

Do you know where else I might try my luck?

Thanks again!

Click the link in my reply post. It goes to a lot of Spottie parts on eBay for $12.

EBay is an easy bet, even aftermarket battery covers show up there.
