I saw a post on another forum about a tech in California who services CLE

[review] minolta cle repairman in oakdale, california

My Minolta CLE was in dire need of a good cleaning, lubing, and adjustment - the meter was finicky and jumping all over the place. Whatever I did, it never stayed still. Apparently the contacts underneath shutter speed dial needed to be cleaned. I did some digging online and people were...

Most of CLE problems are mechanical/shutter related.

perhaps, but DAG has chosen not to service them... & i sent you a link for someone who does....
if the issues are so straightforward why is it that hard to find someone to fix them?

My Leica CL anniversary arrived today. I mailed it to Don in early November. New meter cell, CLA and meter adjusted for modern batteries... I'll be putting it up for sale soon. (too many cameras, too little time)

I have a minolta in need of that service. How much did you pay?

You'd be best to phone Don and have that conversation. Especially if you're talking about a CLE......

DAG had new meter cells for the CL?

Nope talking about Minolta CL. They made all those cameras including the Leica.
It’s basically a Minolta with a Leica stamped on it.

I want to know as well.
I have one Leica CL with meter a little off but working and one Minolta Leitz CL with the meter not working.
Wold love to fix both.

DAG is good people. Sent me the stuff I needed to make my Leica IIIc whole again. A bit pricey but worth it. He may be doing a CLA on it for me.

Seems so...though according to DAG there are a number of issues which could cause the meter to stop working.
DAG is the man!

It's worth having the conversation with Don,.....

If your Leica says "Made in Japan", it's not made by Leica.
Conversely if it says "Made in Germany/Canada/Portugal" it is!
