Yeah, those were unreliable hence the "G" model, that as the main if not only improvement listed getting this switch to work. If you don't plan on selling it right now, my opinion would be: let it be. The light meter is sort of inaccurate anyway (due to nonlinear response of CdS sensor and this not being a bridge circuit nor a compensating meter it can't be calibrated better than to +/-1..1,5 EV over the metering range). Been there already with my 124G (switch was OK, just the meter was off). By the way: this meter relied on mercury batteries, so without recalibration it's gonna be off whatever you do about the switch. Marek |
