    Pentax Spotmeter V

    Anyone taken one apart? Mine is working great but the two nuts that hold the exposure wheel fell off. They are rattling around inside. I still use it, but it is a pain!
    If it is not a DIY project, can anyone receommend a repair shop in the sunny Pacific Northwest? I am new to Washington (Tri Cities area). Thanks

    Quality Light Metric in Hollywood, CA will recalibrate the spotmeter for you and I'm sure they will tell you if they can fix your rattle. I'd be a little worried about a short with a piece of metal banging around in there but then again I'm a little paranoid about such things. Very fast turnaround time and he recalibrated my Soligor analog spotmeter for $75. Here is the phone # 323 467-2265

    If it were me I'd probably open it up and take a look.

    Scott,

    I've had repairs done by KEH in Atlanta. They cailbrated a Pentax 1/21 meter and installed a new bellows on my Tachihara. I was very happy with the quality of their work and customer service. The turnaround time was excellent in both cases.
