Minolta Electro Shot

[Doug T.]

Hi All!

I just received this in the mail today.

It was bought as a project/parts camera for .99 cents US with 6 USD shipping.
I don't know anything about this model, and would like to get some info on it from one of you Minolta collectors
The serial number is 119576.
When built, what kind of battery, numbers made, etc.
I've read they're kind of hard to find, but it looks as though I can use some parts from an old Autoshot I have.

Doug
