Chosen Solution
Hi All, I’m new to this forum and quite a newbie regarding electronics, so first of all hello to everybody. I’m trying to fix a Pentax Spotmeter V light meter, an analog device that is at least 50 years old, and I’m looking for any information on schematics or parts that can help me out. Maybe there is someone trying to do the same as me or has the info I’m looking for? Thanks! All the Best, Chris
Here’s the repair manual for your meter Pentax Spotmeter V service manual
Before we had SMT devices we had small wired devices which someone would hand solder to a board. This is a micro resistor used in cameras and photography meters. Pentax never offered a full schematic for the meter. But they did offer the analog side which you’ll find in the manual I posted in your other question. Be careful! The wire legs are easy to snap off. The resistor is part of a voltage divider used to adjust the voltage of the sensor.
