Good Morning,
I am still looking for correct procedure to replace the battery door on a Canon AL-1. I have the door but don't want to damage the camera, trying to do it the "wrong" way. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you and have a great day.
Frank..... |

CAUTION, I have not personally used this method.
Use @ own risk
;-)
To install the battery door on the AL-1:
- remove the base plate,
- maintain the camera upside-down,
- unscrew the screw in the grip base (the bottom),
- pry the inside edge up far enough to drift
out the hinge pin & re-use it on the new door.
---
Beware breaking the tab on the outside of the base, where the cross-arm screw appears to be. |
