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... |

Is trying lubrication in the first place a good idea,before taking things apart?? |

No, it's not.
(Ronsonol is a brand of lighter fluid used as a solvent.) |
