Can anyone here tell me or point me to information on how to adjust the Minolta XG-M light meter?

At this time I've gotten fairly good at getting the top and bottom covers off and on, have replaced light seals, replaced Capacitors, cleaned a few items... but none of the information I have tells me how to adjust the light meter.

I'm guessing ultimately that there is an adjustment post somewhere on the camera and possibly I need to hook a meter up and measure some milivolts or some such thing while adjusting the meter. Or make adjustments then check to see if it's metering correctly? Hopefully access is not overly difficult?

In any case, I can't find the information on how to adjust an XG-M's meter.

I have a meter that's off about 1.5 stops. And I have other bases that I might like to fine tune, if I could learn how to do it.
