Hello everyone,
I recently acquired a Gossen Sixtar light meter that had severe corrosion on the PCB — the green verdigris had destroyed 3 copper traces on the board.
I cleaned everything with isopropyl alcohol, contact spray, and scraped the solder points mechanically. The galvanometer responds correctly when tested with a multimeter, and the CdS cell also shows variable resistance as expected.
I replaced the 3 broken traces with wires (green, orange, blue), but before soldering permanently I want to confirm the correct connections — especially where the GREEN wire should connect. From the photos it seems to go between the galvanometer and the main battery holder, but I'm not 100% sure.
Does anyone have the service manual or internal wiring diagram for the Gossen Sixtar? Or has anyone done a similar repair and can confirm the circuit topology?
I'm attaching photos of the board before and after cleaning.
Thank you!
