Waiting on Maitani
So I have this Olympus Auto Electroset. The good news is it has the G.Zuiko 42/f1.7 lens, likely the same, or at least similar to the lens on the 35 SP. The exposure mode is a sort of programmed mode, with a selenium cell providing the readings.
Naturally, the selenium cell is dead. I don't think that's my problem, though ....
Being a program exposure mode, the shutter speed and aperture are linked. I'm not sure there's a manual mode, but given the status of the selenium cell, there has to be an auto mode for me to use this camera. The shutter is a Seikosha SLV.
Attached to the top of the speed control ring is a brass engagement arm that interacts with an aperture "pin". The pin can slip under the brass piece, but it's not consistent, i.e. sometimes I can move the aperture control independent of the shutter control, but the aperture doesn't actually change if I trip the shutter on B. I can't figure out how it should all work. Some exterior shots of the camera are here (search on Electroset), and I've posted some shutts of the shutter and light meter assemblies below.
Help!
