Gordon Scammell Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Not stock related as such but I am desperately searching for a battery holder for a Pentax 645n - the holder that takes 6xAA batteries. If anyone happens to find one in the back of the wardrobe and wants to sell it please let me know. Otherwise the camera becomes a doorstop.

Apparently it's prone to cracking up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Yarvin Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 If that's the case, will one of these bring the camera back to life? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The item I am after is the one that takes 6 x AA batteries - I should have mentioned that in the original posting. My Pentax is draining batteries very quickly - a new battery holder is the last resort in trying to sort out the problem before the camera is consigned to the bin.

Brian Yarvin Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Gordon, the one I've linked to takes six AA batteries, but doesn't appear to be what you're looking for. Now I'm completely confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeoffK Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 I assume one of these https://tinyurl.com/y2y53t9n Most of these sorts of spares/hard to get parts seem to mostly come from Japan. An Ebay search with email notification is best way to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
