Leica M6 Battery Door Question

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Leica Photography : One Thread

Hello,

I just received an M6 from Don Chatterton. It is in great condition. I can't seem to manually remove the battery door. I had to use pliers and of course scratched the battery door in doing so. I find if I leave the door just short of tight I can twist it open with my fingers or thumb. When I just make it snug, I cannot open it with my hands.

Any experience or advice about the battery door will be appreciated.

BTW--What a great little camera.

Thanks, David S Smith

This topic was discussed in pretty good detail a few weeks back and several good suggestions were offered. Scroll down to the bottom of the topic page and look under "older messages" then "Leica M".
