  • Cell Battery Sizing!

    Hey all, I've recently found myself in possession of a super8 film camera. It is a Boots Pacemaker 221 (Kobena 221 knock off) and for the life of me, can't find a manual or any description of what size cell battery it takes for the light meter. Worse yet I don't have any callipers to measure the compartment. It's smaller than a cr2032 and bigger than a kr44, that's all I've got to go off.

    Do any of you have one, or know what size it may take? hoping to get it running for the summer!

    Cheers! Will

      Good evening WILL,

      If my memory serves me right the battery should be px 625, readily available

        The PX 625 was a common camera and exposure meter cell so that is very likely right.

          Thank you all for your replies! I will give the px625 a shot and see how it goes!
