I have an old Asahi Pentax Spotmatic camera that was given to me. I have a battery for it, but for the life of me, I CANNOT get the battery cover open. I have tried everything. Various coins, a special tool made specifically for this purpose, even a little bit of WD40 to try and loosen it up a bit. All to no avail. And worse yet, the cover has gotten a little bit stripped and doesn't hold coins, etc. as well. I'm at my wit's end. Anyone have any tips or tricks to get the little bugger open?
Thanks! Peg
