AUTO SPOT N°1

[Baldarchi]

Hello, does anyone know the procedure of "handing over to the time" of a Auto-Spot 1?
Thanks for your attention

I guess with "handing over" you mean "transfer",
But still I do not get your point. As with many manual meters this one has on its display two concentric dial rings, one for aperture, one for shutter-speed, that at metering have to be rotated against each other to yield the apt aperture/shutter-speed pairings.
Only that at your model that rotating against each other is done automatically by built-in motor.

In an auction, I buy a lot of 3 auto spot 1.
2 work, but do not indicate the same values, the third has a worn part and this prevents it from working.

Is this what you're looking for?

I have this manual, but it indicates the operation, not the internal adjustment procedure

 

[shutterfinger]

The internal adjustment procedure is called calibration. Finding the calibration procedure for that meter online is highly unlikely. Someone familiar with light meter calibration may provide some insight.

I have the calibration card of the device that dates from 6/6/73, checked by M. Suzuki, sérious at minolta !

I find someone in France who has to know, but he did not answer me
