Hello, friend has indeed managed to place the wires back at the dome (advised me not to turn it alot) BUT most importantly i have a working light meter :), sadly he didn't take any pics of the process but he had it ready inside 2 hours from getting it in the mail so it can't be that hard im...

I Will try that tysm!, oh the film plane reading thing has gotten me curious what should i do to take better measurements if center metering isn't accurate? Edit: Also what kind of lubrication would u suggest i got nothing outside some sewing machine oil but im sure that might not be something...

so i thought it could be a magnet issue but my om-10 seems to be a late serial number so different design and less prominent to sticky magnet i did clean the contacts but nothing changed and it seems to operate fine, i got no idea if i should try and find a way to access the curtain tensioning...

hello all, so i ended up testing my moms old om-10 and the shutter speeds are ofd with the biggest difference for example being the 1/1000 measuring at 1/521 i had already cleaned the mirror magnet and it seems to function properly so could it be that the curtains arent opening correctly if so...

I've shipped this over to a friend that works with motherboards of any kind and has the right tools alongside this thread, Koracs original article with hopes he can do it otherwise i got no idea and i don't wanna further damage it with my clumsy hands

Got it since its inexpensive but doesn't seem to be off use, i gotta figure out how to acess the head and check where the wires connected to prior to the rip off

Yeye i gotta figure out how to disassembly the head but I've never done soldering i do have a friend that repairs GPUs etc so he could be of use

I will not I'll ask on some repair shops in Athens if they could take the task when i get the time, uneventful end to the story but hey sometimes u win sometimes u lose

Yep.. It was 44 euros it doesnt hurt as much but damn this ruined my day, I'll have to keep my eye out for something similar in a decent price-range and make sure it works 🙂‍↕️

I sadly think I've found quickly what the problem is and i don't think its in my skillset to fix 😪

i'll take pictures of everything if i manage to find a way to remove the backplate with instructions for the screws 😅

I see, tommorow with a newfound will to try my hands in fixing it i'll try to open it up and check that specific area if new battery doesn't resolve the issue i am thankful i've found your blogpost and now photrio and praying this ends up in a happy ending for the light meter otherwise its much...

Hello all, i've just picked up a Gossens Variosix F but my problem is that when i go to take a reading i'll just get an Eu or En reading and its stuck there until i reset the battery, could it be that the 9v battery it shipped with (expires in 2030) is not working properly and thus not allowing...
