Film Pak Contents
Here's a photo of the Flight Pak contents just as they looked moments after I opened the pak a couple weeks ago.
The two Eveready N cells only showed traces of corrosion, which is surprising considering they have got to be in the neighborhood of 37-39 years old!
Remember the "Nine Lives" logo with the cat on the old Eveready batteries?! That brought back memories of many battery-powered childhood toys powered by Eveready brand batteries.
As I mentioned in the opening post, these two batteries both showed about 1.5 volts when I tested them right after this photo was taken. They would not turn the Cineroc motor over, but they did show voltage, which also seems incredible for batteries this old.
At some point I'll open the film cartridge itself and become more familiar with it's workings towards the day I can reload it with some fresh film.
