I recently picked up a nice FTb with everything working. If I remember correctly, there are three pots under the top cover to adjust the meter's hi, lo and battery check. I'd like to recalibrate the meter to work with a 1.5v battery. I tried one and it appears to be 1 to 1.5 stops higher than a 1.35v battery. Which pot of the three will recalibrate the meter's reading in outdoor light conditions?

Thanks for the input! That's the way I remember the pot being, going back 12-15 years ago. Previously I adjusted them by moving and testing, moving and testing until I got what I wanted. This will help tremendously. Thanks again.
