Came across this by accident and apparently it wasn't share here on the forum yet, so I'll include it so it pops up a little easier on searches: https://mitxela.com/projects/rollei_35_meter_repair
It's a page that documents the repair of a Rollei 35 metering circuit that always indicates overexposure. The culprit turns out to be a bad electrical connection in the shutter assembly.

Interesting to see the ‘guts’ inside the 35LED. I think if I attempted to take it apart and reassemble I’d have enough bits left over to make another - exactly like time I attempted ‘open heart’ surgery on a VCR.
