Exposure-meter on Contessa 35

[Chimera]

Hi there.

Last week I got my hands on a Contessa 35, which seems to work just fine (although 50 yrs old...!). The only thing not working is the exposure-meter. On a thread somewhere else, I red that it can be fixed via a camera-technician, and my question to U guys is; Is it worth repairing or should I invest in a seperate device (such as a Lunasix 3)?

I´d really appreciate your point of views.

Best regards,
Chimera

rub your finger across top of meter real fast.
this sometimes makes needle loosen-up with static electricity

Thanx man, the needle aint stuck though, and the prisma seems to be have taken a hit, so I think it should need a big service.

I thank U for your comment Ergo 🙂

I'd like to suggest you send Mike Kovacz a PM. I think I remember he has got quite a bit of experience in meter reanimation.
