In the Konica, you have to take the entire mirror box out to remove the battery box.... probably the Konica's major design flaw, along with a weak battery terminal that makes the job necessary more often than in some other cameas. This is a major disassembly, but not imossible. Email me if you'd like some sketches to help.
