I happened to get one of the few 35FC's where the original CdS meter cell still works. At least it gives quite correct under/over indicators compared to my Profisix meters. Some time I ran a film through it and almost everything turned out at least one f-stop underexposed (yes, I checked the ASA setting).

I suspect, since the meter seems to operate correctly, that the shutter speeds need to be adjusted. I know that on the 35G series this is done by changing the timing capacitor, but the circuitry of the 35FC seems to be much more advanced. Can anyone point me to an adjustment on the shutter board?

I don't have an advice for you, I'm sorry. But I have two FCs which are waiting for repair in short time. When I will discovery something useable for you, I will give a message.
