Thanks for the visual ! It seems my battery compartment is slightly different but similar enough. Unfortunately the black wire was extremely brittle and now damaged too deep to save. So I guess my next step is tearing down the body and replacing that wire. A slightly thicker wire salvaged from a charging cable would work fine as a replacement wouldn't it ?

Hey guys I purchased this camera recently and it seemed to be in great condition. I bought some batteries for it and chucked them in but got nothing from the light meter. Upon opening the bottom of the camera and removing the battery compartment I noticed these two wires were not connected. The black wire seemed pretty corroded and damaged so I think I'll have to replace the entire wire ( anyone have a guide for this ?) I also have no idea where the wires connect too. I assume to red is attached to the little tab to the left of the photo but no idea about the black. I'm not very skilled with electronics but would love to get this little camera fixed up on my own and have ordered a few tools. Any help would be hugely appreciated
