Re: SL 66 Screen & Lightmeter Repair

["Harold Bean" <HB-Foto >]

I had problems with corrosion of the battery compartment, but that was
solved by opening the case and finding acid corrosion inside along the +
wire lead to the circuit board. Had to replace wire and now works
perfectly. I'll send you a copy tomorrow and hopefully this will give you
some knowledge on how to use. One tip: turning the dial will give you a low
light reading and a high light reading, depending which pointer you use.
The dark one for low light, the light one for bright light. Fairly simple
and a great meter. 
Enjoy the literature.
