Hello! I own a Dacora Super Dignette 500 S and I’m trying to get the light meter working. I bought an MR-9 adapter, but it’s too small and doesn’t fit securely in the battery compartment. I’m wondering if something inside is missing (a contact plate or spring maybe?).

I’ve attached a photo of the open battery compartment.
Has anyone here used this model and can confirm what it should look like inside? A reference photo would be really helpful.
Or can knows anyone a good substitution option for the PX13 mercury battery, which is not available anymore?
Thanks in advance!
