Ok! thank you for you're almost immediate response! Thats right, we made the same thing to compensate for the very same problem, but you know it is very annoying too... I would like to shoot at 12800 ASA someday!! (It will be probably not grain but stones of silver on the pics but who knows!) I do, actually, have the repair manual for this camera and it is a very lame desing if you ask me, but i think their were all the same back then. Maybe I'm just not used to those kind of literature, since i'm not really a technician. I work repairing DVD´s and digital camcoders but don't like (nor know) much about electronics, what an irony... But I love repairing and restoring classic cameras!! And certainly love making things work on my own without paying someone else. Thats why I look for help before messing around with it. I'm sure I can manage this thing anyway. If you want i can send you what I have as a service manual to see if you have the same thing. It would be really nice of you if you post those pics so I can see exactly what resistor you're talking about. I Don't want to turn the self destruct one. In the case it were the resistor, what I wonder is why our two cameras have EXACTLY THE SAME misalignment of +2 2/3 stops. It'd make more sense if they were different. Since it would be an electronic problem, it would probably be a more random shift. Seems that they had the same cause, and I bet there is someone else who had to suffer this too. I hoped it were caused by a shift of the film speed dial or something like it, as you say, cause I've read its a common thing. I think I'm gonna check it anyway. Thank you again for you're very cordial reply, feels like there are men (and women) of good will here. Good luck for you too.
