Attention Konica Auto S2 owners
The Konica Auto S2 is very solidly built, but the oddly cheap plastic battery cap strips easily.
Currently on eBay there's a seller who has several NOS original replacement caps for $4 each BIN.
If you are interested and can't find the listing, PM me and I will reply with the link...

That's a very good price. Definitely the Achillies heel of a fine camera--the QC boys must have had too much Saki the day they designed that part. I bought a some spares from Greg Weber, ace Konica repairman.

OK, OK. I admit it. I bought a cap last night after reading your post. I just wanted to make sure I was one of the 7.

For those of you who choose not to eBay, seller has a webstore, too.
I can't find the battery cap there, but I'm sure you can email him.
There's a link by seller's name on auction page...
