Help!

I managed to loos the black plastic thing that plugs into and covers the 3 recepticles on the front of the Luna Pro sbc. Does anyone have a spare in their junk drawer? Frank? Anybody?

Thanks for your help!

Sorry I can't help, but holy S**t I never even noticed that the receptacles are there! What are they for? My sbc was inherited w/o instructions - heck who needs instructions for something so simple...). Is the center socket for firing strobes?

I don't have the manual either. I'm clueless also.

I figure those 3 holes could let a binch of crud into the meter housing. Black electricians tape will seal them if I can't find the gizmo that I lost over the weekend. :mad:

Thank you. I remember browsing that when I got my meter.

The receptacles were for add-ons. There are a couple of originally expensive ones that use separate sensors, IIRC colour, flash and spot meter, and the Gossen/sinar Probe. Plus some others (large dome, microscope, flexible probe) that utilize the built-in SBC sensor and insert a corrective resistor through the plug system, so that you don't have to dial in a correction value.

PS: The cover plate is not necessary - I lost mine about 25 years ago...
