Minolta Maxxum 7000i ~ Missing battery cover... where to replace?

Have a look on ebay.
A couple of months ago I accidentally bought an almost mint condition 7000i for £21 including the P&P (I thought £13.49 was a silly bid). I fell in love with the camera and bought another in pretty decent condition bar a very minor internal LCD fault for £12.50 including P&P.

I know you only need the battery cover but if you buy an extra one then you'll have all the parts you might need in the future (hopefully all working).

Minolta film bodies are going for ludicrously low prices. Don't get set on one item. If the price goes beyond what you want to pay wait for the next one.

There are also some independent repair shops out there who are far cheaper than Sony but they'll still probably want you to ship it and charge £40-£50.
If you want to go this route why not get the camera serviced and ask them to replace the door at the same time, at least you'll get better value for your money.

Does this look familiar?
