hello! i've recently purchased an used Yashica Tl Super, which works well except for the needle meter that, when triggered, points always to its maximum point, no matter the light was dim or strong! why does it happens, and how can i fix it? thanks, diogo

I have a TL super where the CDS cells were worn out and had the same behavior you have. I replaced the CDS cell from a junker and it works OK.

You would need to remove the top cover and test the resistance of the CDS cells to determine if this is the problem on your camera. The cells are glued into the back of the eyepiece.
