I have looked at the article with no help. Rewind does not appear to screw off and there is no advance lever. My reason to disassemble is that the camera eats batteries even when it is turned off. In a day or so they are dead. Otherwise the camera works perfectly. I am assuming that barring a visible short the transistor in the shutter circuit is leaky. I might have a shot at replacing it if I can get the cover off, although without a manual my chances are not great. But camera is practically useless as it is. I am not up for removing the batteries after every shoot. I believe this is a very common problem.

I took just a quick look at link so far, but I couldn't ask for much more than this, could I? Unless someone has specific advice on the battery drain in off? Thank You, Sillyconguru!
