Can a MC be repaired?

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Leica Photography : One Thread

When I bought a M3 some tine ago I also got at MC lightmeter (absolutely mint!), but this is not working correct any suggestions how to check/adjust/repair this.

I checked in a shop but they just advised me to get another (seconic 208) wich I did, but I just wonder.

I second John's recommendation on Quality Light Metric. I have no experiene with them on Leica Metrawatt meters, but they did a terrific job on my Weston IV - fast, thorough, reasonable, friendly. They do work for the large Hollywood studios, but no job is too big or too small.

I can also vouch for the work of Quality Light-Metric. They did a great job fixing my Metrawatt Leica-meter MR, including calibrating it for silver oxide batteries & providing a little adapter ring so that modern batteries can fit in the compartment. Mr. Milton also called me directly, long-distance, to inquire as to the exact work I wanted done.
