Howdy, I just found this group! I have a Contaflex Super BC that I tend to run with a CRIS adapter filled with a 1.5v battery, which, of course, makes the voltage c. 1.35. The problem is that the thickness of the assembly is insufficient for maintaining continuous contact, so i have to stuff a wee piece of cardboard in the battery compartment to keep the readings kosher. This and the fact that I hate having to swap my one $40.00 battery adapter between several cameras, makes it inconvenient at times to just grab a classic camera and run. So, I just read on the Web that it is possible to adjust the meter in the SBC so as to use today's 1.5v batteries (hopefully thicker), via a "screw on the camera's back". I have found what appears to be the screw, but I am still wondering if it really can be as simple as that. Also... how does one make the adjustment, and would the extra voltage harm the camera? Anyone out there tried this? Anyone running an SBC at 1.5 volts? Thanks in advance. Alex |
