I recently obtained an SRT 101 with a light meter that appears to work counter to the way other SRT's operate. The battery is new and confirmed good by voltmeter. The needle which should move up when light intensity increases moves down. I have never seen this before. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

As I recall, my SRT meter needle is at the top in the dark and moves down with increasing light. Opposite from most cameras, but I think normal for an SRT.

The needle moves down with increasing light, just as in the Leicaflex.

I have 4 different SRT's, with every one the needle moves down as light increases.
