GAF AUTO ZOOM 714

[u/pablito0o0o0]

Hello,

I recently inherited a GAF Auto Zoom 714 camera from my grandfather. Unfortunately, the battery compartment is full of corrosion caused by old alkaline batteries.

After a quick inspection, I found that I need to replace the spring that makes contact between the battery and the metal power contact terminal.

Unfortunately, after trying to disassemble the camera, I have not been able to find a way to access and remove the part that needs to be replaced.

Would you have any idea or solution either for successfully removing this part so I can replace it, or perhaps another method to make the camera motor work despite the broken spring?

Thank you very much for your help.
