I have a Minolta SRT 303 and I must adjust the light meter becuase the reads are ever one step over. I've tried with a 1,35V cell and with a 1,5V cell.
I've seen that there are two semi-fixing resisters under the base plate. One of these are for calibrate the battery checker, but the other don't do anything on the light meter arrow.
I've seen too that there are an excentric pin that is for the adjust the position of the arrow with ring, that you can see into the viewfinder but I think that the right way to calibrate the light meter is deviates the arrow of the light meter.
Can anybody helps me?

The pot only has about a 1-stop range. There is some mechanical adjustment available in the shutter speed dial where the meter coupling cord attaches....

Rick, in the speed dial I only have seen an adjustment for the position of the piece that marks the speed into the viewfinder.
There are an excentric pin that it can adjust the "arm with hole" that there are into the viewfinder.
