Gossen Luna Pro Lightmeter Repair Recommendations

[craig_maxwell]

Hi Everyone,

My beloved Gossen Luna Pro lightmeter has stopped working, I changed

the batteries (Yes, I was able to gat a couple of Varta Mercury 1.35V

batteries at a local swap meet) and still no luck. Can anyone give me

any repair recommendations, I'm in San Francisco but I do not mind

sendng it off for service.

Craig,

 

Contact Bogen/Gossen. I've had one Luna-Pro repaired there. Price was reasonable, service was fast. http://www.bogenphoto.com/

 

While your meter is in the shop, you might consider having them install their adaptor (~$20) so you can use silver oxide (#76) cells in your Luna, rather than having to hunt for mercury cells. The adaptor changes the 1.5V silver cell voltage to 1.35V, as came from the mercury cells. The silver cells last for about a year, which is not nearly as long as the mercury cells lasted, but is FAR longer than the weeks-to-months you'll get from the zinc-air replacements that our all-knowing government has mandated.

 

Best regards,
