How can I calibrate light meter on minolta xg-1? (lightmeter always shows higher than 1000 on the left side of viewfinder, unless I push the aperture lever of camera to end.)

First clean all of your variable resistors- aperature value under the lens ring, shutter value under the shutter speed dial, film speed under the film speed dial around the rewind knob. Use ronsonol (benzine) or any pure alcohol. If you need help with disassembly check the archives here.

It was: aperature value under the lens ring
