QL17 Needle replacement

[tog0710]

Hello everyone.



In my journey to repair a used New QL17-L (the one with a battery tester moving the needle), i've screwed up the exposure meter (my fault).



Does anybody knows if i can buy a cheaper QL19 or QL19-GIII for this specific part ?
I have seen a QL19-gIII for around 25€, where the cheapest QL17 (not even a GIII) is around 100€ here in France.


Will it work correctly or should i have to wait for the good opportunity on a used QL17.


Thank you for your help.

Well,I am answering myself.
Ii've bought a QL19 to collect the lightmeter from it and place it in my QL17.
It seems to work correctly, although i still need to check everything and calibrate it.
So the parts seems to be perfectly compatible.
