Mike, thanks for your response. I was wondering about this. when you say variable resistors are you referring to the gold printed part of the circuit board under the ASA dial that is circular and has a contact that runs around the top that changes as I change the film speed setting? I guess it makes sense that it's nothing but a resister. I had wondered if that upper contact and the lower contact points my corrode even though they didn't look bad to my eye. If so, that would solve one of my problems and most likely still leave me with an off center meter. But I could compensate by changing my ASA setting to adjust for the meter.

Could one use a very small amount of denatured alcohol on that board or would that damage it? Hmm, it appears on line that Ronsonol may be available at my local hardware store.
