Matt,
If I understand your explanation correctly, there is nothing wrong with your Minolta. Since the SRT's meter reads at full aperture and transmits the actual f-stop information to the camera mechanically, you cannot stop the aperture down and expext the meter to read correctly.
Simply put - leave the diaphragm switch alone and take your meter readings with the lens fully open. There is a linkage on the body that will 'tell' the camera which f-stop is set. The diaphragm will close to the set f-stop when you trip the shutter and re-open immediately afterwards.
Also, make sure that you have MC or MD lenses - those couple with your camera correctly.
All the best,
