Hi all,

my name is Piero and I decided to join the community because I'd like to share my experience with the awesome Spotmatic F.
At the moment I am repairing the camera light meter and I will make a proper thread for it.

Saluti dall' Italia

Welcome! Good luck with the light meter. The nice thing is that those cameras are pretty usable using an exposure chart, even if the light meter isn't working.

Looking forward to seeing the results from your spotmatic!

Welcome to the forum, if you can do these sort of repairs... you could be a handy guy to know.

I am able to fix, but not a electronic engineer. I work into yachting industry as engineer designer.
I'll try my best. I will need all your support for this fixing project. Already designed new PCB that will replace the old broken one and looking for someone who had CNC router so may mill the new board.
