Roleiflex Light Meter Repair

[Arthurwg]

Is it possible to get a Rollei TLR light meter repaired? Are parts available? Anyone know a repair person who can do this?

The Rollei expert is Harry Fleenor of Oceanside Camera Repair:

The meters on these are selenium and will deteriorate over time. Which is one reason I prefer my 2.8D over my 3.5F.

Unfortunately Mr. Flexor says he can't repair light meters because parts are not available. I remember that there were new parts some years back, but apparently no longer. Perhaps Germany?

If you have a nice dark corner to lie down in afterwards this is how one person sorted his Rollei meter problem :

I presume you are referring to the "F" and "E" versions which have selenium cells. Repair success depends on what is wrong. If the galvometer is bad (I tried to repair one with a bad 'whisker' wire to the coil and failed) you are out of luck unless you find a donor camera with a working meter. If the light cell is bad, this is repairable, but not easy.
