Hello. I have an ME-Super that will not meter correctly when set to less than 200 ASA. I gather that this is a corroded contact on the ASA track. I can fix that (or at least try) if I can get to it, but I've got no idea how. Is it worth buying a little screwdriver and taking this thing apart?

Thanks! This seems like a great forum.

this might help. you need to remove the top cover, then a few more screws. not so complicated.
