I may do as you suggest and put an inline Schottky diode and adjust the variable resistor, it would make all my Minoltas use S76 cells which would simplify matters since they're the cameras that get the most use for me. I just picked up a nicely working X-700 for $20, with late MD 50/1.7, and power winder G. Serial number is below the range with the dodgy electrolytic caps (it's in the 21xxxxx range). Only problem is a small crack in the top deck that I'm going to epoxy over and maybe later replace it when I can find a clean parts X-700.
