Hello all, I have an XE-7 that has an ISO selector dial with a worn bad connection to its variable resistence plate amd rotating contact. It must be set to ISO 50 or just above, to match the light meter on my DSLR and/or X-700 for same 1:2.8/1/60 on meter needle for same set light source. Also, this dial can and does cause meter needle to react to movement of this dial when wiggled. Needle can shoot up all the way and stay there, drop down to "normal" (at compensated setting of 50 ISO), and bounce when shutter button is pressed and released. Needle bounces up when shutter button is pressed, and drops down when released. Batteries are brand new and voltage reads 3.2v with dvm. No corosion anywhere.

If I had a wiring diagram, I could see what resistences are involved, and all the switches. I may just send it out to get a CLA on it if too involved. Any help would be appreciated very much. Also, I'm thinking of KEH to get the CLA, any thoughs on them?
