I have aquired an XG1 with a broken circuit board on the left side of the Light Meter board. After trying to super glue it with my fingers crossed, and then soldering a new wire across the contacts with my other fingers crossed I have decided to try to adjust the pots. Does anyone out there know how to do this / know if it will work?

Currently I have to set the asa at 1600 for the meter to read correctly for 200.

Never mind! Upon re-disassembly I discovered a misplaced part blocking the light-meters "view" of the prism.
