The shutter speed knob controls a carbon control switch which can be accessed by removing the bottom cover. I removed this control to clean it. I didn`t mark it`s orginal geared position and now I don`t know how to replace it in it`s properly alinged position. Can anyone help a fool like me??
Tks.
Scott

Hi Scott,

there is a check-hole in the last visible plate of the control switch, where you can adjust the rotating metal contact beneath. It has to be in this position for instance at 1/15 sec. @ 17 DIN. There are other correct combinations, too - but this one is sure. If you would like to have a picture for explanation, let me know.

Bye,
Thomas
