Hi Guys,
I have a Pentax Spotmeter V I would like to open up because there is something rattling inside. I can't seem to figure out any way to do it! There are 2 screws on the base of the handle (beside the battery compartment) but after unscrewing these, I have no idea how to take off that bottom plates....it seems the tripod mount and the battery chamber are attached to that plate as well as the body so it doesn't budge. I have removed the lens but what ever is in there, is on the other side of the mirror so it won't come out that way. The only other options I can see is to take off the viewfinder, but that requires a spanning wrench so i thought i would throw it out to you guys incase someone has experience with this before I go out and buy one of those wrenches. Thanks!
