Hi,
I'm having problems with an old Pentax 6x7 I bought. I cannot get the TTL meter to work. I bought the meter seperately from KEH, so I believe (assume) it's working and the problem is with the camera.
I put a meter across the contacts on the camera and I'm seeing 6vdc with the center contact being ground and the left contact being positive. I see nothing from the right contact to any other contact.
Contacts on the meter prism touch only the left and right camera contacts, so, I'd think I'd need to see something there.
Please see the attached image.

Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks,
