Servicing Weston lightmeters ?

[Fox_one]

I do hope the Mods will move this if necessary. (Yep - moved to F&C for you )

Does anyone have some sort of "service guide" to the Weston Mast light meters of a few years (decades) ago please? I have one that does not work well and I'd like to fix it. But I do not know how to get inside it! :bonk:

I have access to the necessary (usual) tools, etc., and calibration is not much of a problem.
And yes, it is as much for interest as anything else (I always fancied one when I started).

Thank you for your patience

Newton Ellis used to be able to replace the cells until recently but their apparently unavailable at the moment so in future you might be able to get them replaced. There is again it could be something else so it might be worth sending it into them, the needle could just be sticking.

Well I took mine apart (so far) to lubricate the sliding bits on the front and I didn't bother making notes as it was so easy.
