My rolleilux seems to be inaccurate beyond all hope of adjustment. I suppose the selenium sensor has gone bad. I am probably not alone in this, so here's an idea that is possibly of use for those out there who wish to have a modern meter on their rollei.
My version is larger, does not fold, and is uglier than the original, but it does fill the role that the rollielux did. It is printed in green because that's what I have at the moment. Black would look better. If you have access to I printer I recommend making some measurements and trying it. I suppose you could also mount other things on there like a small flash instead of a meter, but I don't think the bayonet mount is very robust.

That's neat!
Years ago I replaced the flash of a Rolleiflash with a flash shoe. The Rolleiflash bayonets to the viewfinder lens.
