When received the battery cover was welded shut by corrosion but removed bottom plate and released with a soak in WD40 and was pleased to discover the meter worked and was successfully checked out against my K1000eBay UK

5760001HiddenI dug this out recently and it is in remarkable condition. Some small wear marks on the back door but no dents. Performed a minor overhaul, including sealing along the back door. Haven't tested the light meter yet. It is giving a response, but I won't know until I do some testing. I'm not relying on it. Sick of digital and remembered I had this in storage. Takumar 1:1.8/55 lens. All bought secondhand. Would love to know date of manufacture and original sale price.Ireland

54522732HiddenInherited my fathers Spotmatic II in 1994. Took it all over europe on motorcycle, literally many thousands of miles over the next 15 years. Then light meter failed...sent it to Pentax UK who rebuilt the camera......and a minter today. Own several German made Rollei SL35's design is based on the Spotmatic....but the Spotmatic is a far more reliable piece of kit and far easier to use. The Rollei came after but is almost a piece of reverse engineering timewise. Hope to be using the Spot for years to come....Suffolk, England
