jarrett_hunt Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 I have a copy that's in excellent condition, no scratches or anything. The only thing wrong with it is that the light meter doesn't work. I sent it to shop for 3 weeks and the guy couldn't figure it out. I have the T3n and was wondering if they are the same across the the autoreflex family. I will cannibalize a meter if i have to. Hopefully I could get the meter repaired as I love this camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richard_oleson Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 <p>Hi Jarrett: I have disassembly & repair notes for this camera, write me at rick.oleson@gmail.com if you'd like a copy. A pretty common problem with the Konica A - T series is a failure of the plastic stud that holds the (-) terminal into the bottom of the battery box. Does that terminal look loose and floppy inside the box? It's an easy fix, except that the box does not come out downward, so a lot of disassembly is required to reach it from the top. Another possible problem is corrosion in the (-) wire from standing for years with a battery in the camera ... the same disassembly is required in that case. Other possibilities are the CdS cells, though they seldom go bad, or the galvanometer, which could have a wire off or just a stuck needle. I've seen a couple of cameras where the hair spring in the galvanometer came unsoldered, that can be tricky to get back together... but it's rare.<br> rick</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarrett_hunt Posted March 28, 2016 Author Share Posted March 28, 2016 <p>Finally got it fix. The meter worked perfectly fine from the start. The problem was with a bend lever from the previous owner putting on the lens wrong. From what I understand that kept the meter from activating. I also got a battery conversion on the camera. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
