Got a VSL-1 the other day, shutter was hosed, but luckily it turned out to be one stiff lever under the baseplate which needed unscrewing and re-screwing and now everything is well in the voigtlander world.
However the light meter is sluggish and a stop or two out. Does anyone know of a service manual anywhere for this camera? Or for one of the many identical differently branded cameras? I.E. the Ifbaflex M102, the Rollieflex VSL1 or SL35M and the Zeiss Ikon SL706. Only links I can find are for those paysites.
Specifically, I want to know how to adjust the lightmeter to get it back within reasonable tolerance (if possible, I know the CDS cells might be shot at this stage). Also at the rear of the camera, beside the frame counter, there's an enigmatic service port which gives access to one adjustment screw. I really REALLY want to know why that one adjustment was deemed so important as to need an externally accessible service port :-D
