I'm thinking of dripping a bit of Ronsonol into my ASA dial to see if it's the problem with my Yashica FX-3 light meter only showing ' underexposed' Bad Idea ? |

i don't think it will do any harm (just a drop, though, don't squirt it all over), but i don't know if it will help either. if it's a matter of dirty contacts underneath failing to make connection, then this could help. |

Well, I tried it & it nether helped nor hurt my problem. (I'm reviving a FX-3. The last problem is the LED readout in the view finder always shows only the 'Underexposed' LED lit up. Any ideas ?) I was hoping the ASA settings were 'stuck' some how... |
