Gossen lightmeter battery compartment door needed

RalphLambrecht · Oct 4, 2013

Does anyone know a source to get a replacement for the battery compartment ofGossen light meters? the plastic tabs break off too easily and the gossen website was not very helpfull

If it breaks so easysily a substitute should not be solution, rather a repair with a self-constructed tab.

It depends which meter you have, but Gossen seem to be happy servicing and calibrating relatively ancient products (my Lunasix 3, a couple of years ago) so they may have a simple method of supplying user-changeable parts too. A quick e-mail would get the answer.

Gossen has a form to order small parts. But the same time they state not to repair older meters (all analogue ones) due to lack of parts.

I hpe this does not apply to mine. they are about 10 years old.

Is this what you need? From a Gossen Luna Pro SBC.

Yes, I was able to buy replacement doors directly from Gossen for $5 a piece plus $5 in shipping. I bought three ;just in case.

Now that you have ready spares, the one you put on the meter won't ever break.
At least, that is how that sort of thing usually works for me.

You might be best off buying a broken meter for cheap and scavenging the battery cover.
