I would love to still use mine but am having a hard time finding a battery for either of them. Mine take like a watch battery but it is super thick and the battery for hubby's looks like a short fat double A and says 6 volt.

I have found that some "classic" camera dealers also stock batteries -- or can direct you to them. You might email Calumet camera, they have a "classic" section. So does KEH. I do enjoy my film cameras still, myself.

I had a Minolta SRT 101, way back when. I probably bought it back in the 70's if memory serves me correctly. Nice shots.
