Just when i thought it was fixed..! The green wire going to the synchro post broke, so i resoldered it. But now the synchro seems to always be setting the camera to 1/30 ( even though no flash is attached!). I can see that when the top cover is off there is a small sprung metal lever that contacts the metal casing near the inside of syncro post, the pressure of the top cover forces it to then contact another metal post, this seems to be the switch that is setting it to 1/30. If i interupt this circuit with a bit of tape to insulate between these posts the meter works fine. What confuses me is that with the camera top on it appears that this contact will always exist. I'm really scratching my head over this one, should the 2 posts contact at all? Maybe they've been bent...seems an unusual design to have this "switch" at all. Ideas greatly appreciated |
