johnny_tsang Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 <p>I just received a 1971 F1 and the meter needle won't move at any speeds 1/4 and higher. Could this be fixed?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leicaglow Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 <p>What could be wrong with the camera can vary widely. Usually it can be fixed by a competent repair person. I used Advanced Camera's quote form (I think advancedcamera.com), and they sent back a pretty detailed quote on a couple of my items, one being a Canon EF. They seemed pretty confident they could fix it. Give it a try and see what they say.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awahlster Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 <p>what condition is the battery in? What battery are you using? have you cleaned the battery contacts with a pencil eraser? Are you inside with the ASA on the meter set very low?</p> <p>Lots of questions need to be answered BUT yes the meter on a F-1 is servicable by a qualified person</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny_tsang Posted September 19, 2009 Author Share Posted September 19, 2009 <p>I'm using a 1.35v battery and the asa is set at 400. Also i just tried the eraser method and sadly it didnt work. =[</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
